VacForm Polikarpov I-152

[John Howling Mouse]

What do you do when you have 11 projects on the go?  Add in another one, preferably a vac-form biplane.



The 1:48 MPM Polikarpov I-152 in progress of being cut from the vacuum-formed sheet.  When I bought this off eeyuck-bay, I did not know it was a vacform (wasn't mentioned in the description, either).  But here goes.

Sure would look better with Spats!^TM but I keep imagining it on snowskis...

Excuse me Sir, but where can we found some Spats!!^{TM R C}

VacForm... Brrr... Happy halloween Slerski !! (I had worse souvenirs with vacuformed kits)

[Tophe]

Not easy... Congratulations if you ever succeed in getting a (solid) model out of this...

Life on your workbench is never dull, is it Comrade Howling Mouse-ski?

If you need some spats( ), the Peoples Comittee (Pittsburgh oblask) could be persuaded to assist a true comrade in need....

You sir are a Hero of the Soviet Spatted Union!

I really buggered up some tendon in my right elbow and it actually hurts too much to wet sand this thing, believe it or not.  I wish I wrecked my arm while doing some cool mixed martial arts thing but no; a few days ago, I swung closed my oversized tire-carrier on the truck but it rebounded off the bumper clamp right back into my outstretched arm.   

I'm getting old, fellas!

Sorry to hear about your woe. That HAD to hurt!
