The usual ICM box-in-a-box, designed to defeat postal service attack.

The sprues must be common to several boxings, so there will be several parts for the spares box.
Instructions

Glossy, colour A4 - full instructions can be downloaded here https://icm.com.ua/aviation/i-153-4/ direct from the ICM website:thumb2:
Not many marking options! Some of the decals on the sheet aren't called out ( including the one on the box front! )

All parts are very crisp & clean, no flash or shrink marks. Ingate are reasonably positioned
This looks like a nicely presented model from ICM, of a pretty simple aircraft. Even though it's a biplane, I think it would be suitable for a beginner. No seat harness supplied, a common ICM trait! No PE provided - Eduard do a couple of specific sets, ( nice but not essential )
Available, but shop around, as prices vary around the £17 mark

That looks a great kit as well David. I’m going to have to try an ICM kit in the future….
