Looks like I will defintely pick this one up. And I think BSYamato is going to like this as well.

Nice - interested, but I also had a good time building my "classic" Heller kit of this machine.

The heller 153 is a pretty kit, build one two years ago, but have some bad shape about upper wings and fuselage.

I didn't measure it, or count the rivets.

I did do some work on my Heller (Smer Hi-tech boxing) build. Corrected the detail between the wings, new ailerons, fattened the spine, elongated the coweling. Sounds like a lot of work but it was fun to do.

That is great news! I will definitely be buying one. Or two. Or three.
I am not addicted to Polikarpov's, I could stop at any moment. Really I could
