+ a lot of figures in all scales. I'm personally looking forward to the Heinkel and the quarterscale cars are tempting, too.

Wonder if the Ju-88s come with engine details and the like? I'd grab those up!

Mostrich, would you contact them as an "official" rep of our site and see if you can get samples?

I'll try. Let's see how far my rusty Russian will lead us.
If this site is flooded by hackers in the next days don't blame the messenger!

Well, since we had some help to change the registration process to this forum the number of hackers and eastern european spammers has gone to zero...

Good luck with ICM! Too bad I won´t be on the Nuremberg Toy Fair this year.

Pictures of ICM´s 2017 catalogue are to be found on our friend site, "The Modelling News" here:

A 1/32 I-16? I still have to build the Azur/MPM kit.....
maybe this release will lead to some more AM possibilities. Up until now only Vector and Contact made resin part for the I-16 in this scale. And those are hard to find.

I've never built an ICM kit - what do they build up like normally?

Stuart, ICM made a big step in terms of quality in the past two or three years. I guess they invested in new tooling machines.
When you keep in mind that two of three of their kits are getting reboxed by Revell, it may be possible that they're just a sort of design bureau that uses the same factory as Revell. And their new toolings are on par with the better new Revell kits.

I agree. Would love to get my hands on their 1/48 scale MiG-25!
