I-15 bis/I-152 kit as a "China version"?

Hi,

I wonder if there is a decent Polikarpov I-15 bis kit available with spatted wheels and Chinese (ROCAF) decals in the 1:72 scale? The ICM kits are reputedly the best of I-15 bis kits available in 1:72 scale but they do not offer the "Chinese scenario" unless finding aftermarket products like a spinner, wheel spats and Chinese decals (and ordering these items separately from various sellers makes the project a bit too expensive with all the postage costs).

I have already I-15 "Chato" (Spanish Republican Air Force) and I-153 "Chaika" (Soviet Baltic Fleet Air Force) kits of 1:72 scale at my collection and the "Chinese I-15 bis / I-152" with spatted wheels and spinner would be a nice add to them to complete the trio of "I-15 family".

This came up with google search but leaves one with somewhat mixed feelings: http://worldatwar.net/chandelle/v3/v3n3 ... ncore.html
