I'm one of those older modelers who is not too picky about fit, contour or shape errors, etc., etc., and so forth. I can remember trying to build a Strombecker model of a P-51 Mustang, which required carving the fuselage to shape, carving blocks of wood to airfoil shape, sanding, and, get this: mix up your own glue from what looked like a flour-and-water paste affair. (I think it was powdered casein glue.) That was about 60 years ago, BTW. The test shots of the I-53 look good enough for me, and since I'm the only one to see it, most likely, I'm going to get one and do my best with it and have a ball.
YMMV.
With best regards to all.
