Hasegawa 1/48 Polikarpov I-153 -Finnish Air Force- Limited Edition

Strafing over snow

Designed by the Soviet Union in the lead up to WWII, the Polikarpov I-153 was one of the world's last successful biplane fighters. It combined the tremendous maneuverability of all biplanes with high speeds and four machine guns. When the Soviets opened the Winter War against Finland, Finland used everything at its disposal to fight back. This included several captured I-153s which managed to shoot down many of their former comrades!
