    Yes indeed, I-15bis and I-15 types are available.

    I have four I-15s that have been half painted for a year, I hope I can get a chance to finish them by the end of this year!

    Default Frank "Glasgow" Tinker's and Capt. Yeremenko's Polikarpov I-15's



    I just wanted to include some pics of a couple of my Polikarpov I-15's from Shapeways designer kampflieger.

    The first is Frank "Glasgow" Tinker's (as well as other pilots of the Internationals), and the second is that of Spanish Pilot, Capt. Ivan Yeremenko, the commander of the 1 Escuadrilla de Chatos. July, 1937. Note it is mounted on a Fiat Cr.42 Base.

    I'm wondering if there's a market for professionally printed Zx decks for the pre-war aircraft. They will fit on standard "mini" playing card size cards, which are just 5mm shorter than the WGS standard. (Mini 44.45mm x 63.5mm, vs WGS 68mm by 44mm).
    See http://www.makeplayingcards.com/desi...ard-decks.html

    I can get 1 of each deck in a single pasck for $5 for a quantity of 30. Or someone else can. I'd buy 6 myself if someone else was to do it.

    Perhaps if you used the same print service as was used for the WGS Damage Cards? Link on this post: Want Damage Cards Instead of Chits

    This would hopefully produce identically sized maneuver cards, of similar quality to original cards (See link post #39 for cards template and size).

    I know I didn't give enough prep coats as they are a bit grainy. I think the 1/200 show the grain more than 1/144?
