Looking for feedback on ICM kits.

[chris2681]

Hey guys, I was just wondering who has built any Icm 1/35 military kits and what you thought of them. They sell for pretty cheap on ebay and have some really interesting trucks (especially german ww2 stuff). Im thinking of bidding on one or two but just wanted to know if they were quality kits. Thanks.

Hi Chris go for them, nice kits plenty of detail, engines etc, the only thing I would say to look out for on them is the tiny thin pieces that are very difficult to cut off the sprues, but saying that, Miniart are the same, other than that, they are excellent kits to build, I`ve got plenty of them and would swear by them

I have only built their aircraft kits, and they where fine. Good detail, pretty good fit and well detailed. Some might moan about an absence of location pins.


Good kits at a good price.

Tommy, would say the plastic is almost brittle? Ive done a few older Zvesda kits and they were a real pain due to parts just snapping. Would you say they are similar?

It's a combo of fine parts and heavy gates. You just need to be careful when you cut them off. I don't recall the plastic being to bad to work with.
