ICM
This Ukrainian firm has forged a great reputation for producing well-detailed aircraft, military, maritime, auto and figure kits, in various scales. Highlights include the series of 1/48 A-26 Invaders, Junkers Ju 88s and the Ford Model T in 1/24 scale.
MANNED 'SEAGULL'
While some manufacturers include crew figures in a kit, ICM’s approach is slightly different, incorporating a separate set with its aircraft offerings, as with its I-153, which is augmented with the firm’s 32102 Soviet Pilots (1939- 1942) - best of all it’s just £2 more than the baseline product (32010).
GUTTRIDGE'S GUN-CARRIER
ICM has added to its range of 1/35 Model T Ford variants with this armoured car version – built to Chief Petty Officer L Gutteridge’s design for service with the Royal Naval Air Service.
'AUSSIE' TRANSPORT
Here’s another Model T Ford variation with ICM’s 1/35 offering depicting a ‘Touring’ model used by Australia’s Mounted Division during World War One.
2021 RELEASES
EXTRA IMAGES INSIDE: With the postponement of this year’s Nuremberg Toy Fair until July, the usual AMW round-up of announcements is being replaced by a series of separate articles, the first covering product lines from Revell, ICM and Tamiya.
DISASTER SPRAYERS
Here’s another addition to ICM’s selection of packages inspired by the TV mini-series Chernobyl, in the form of its 1/35 Deactivators, clothed in protective gear and spraying areas with chemicals or water to prevent the spread of radioactive material.
WATER-COOLED OPERATORS
ICM has combined its 1/35 Vickers machine gun (35712) and WWI Weapon and Equipment set (35683) with newly tooled figures to form a package suitable for producing an instant World War One vignette.
OPEN-TOP KADETT
As was the case with its 1/35 Moskvitch 400/420 soft-top, ICM has waited seven years since reworking its 1/35 Opel Kadett K38 to depict the cabriolet ‘Spezial’.
CIVIL WAR MATERIEL
The newly tooled components for tools and weaponry first released in ICM’s 1/35 American Civil War figure sets have now been repackaged as a standalone release.
TIN LIZZIE TOURER
ICM’s 1/24 Model T Ford has been released in various guises since its initial offering in 2014, and this value-for-money package combines the five-seat ‘Touring’ version (24002) with the company’s American Motorist figures (24013) for less than buying both sets separately.
A TRAINER’S TRAINER
Buses and kits arguably have much in common: there’s nothing for ages, then everything arrives at the same time.
