Guest Clunkmeister Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well, it'll open up the reach of the model to those who for whatever reason won't buy unless it's a mainstream name German or Japanese kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaced Marine Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well, it'll open up the reach of the model to those who for whatever reason won't buy unless it's a mainstream name German or Japanese kit. Also it will make importing it to the JDM easier, such as Tamiya's arrangement with Italeri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Not really a bad setup by ICM: put out a kit and reap the first sales, then sell/lease the molds to others while you come out with the next version.

Exactly. Dragon did it with their Ju88 series with Hasegawa and Revellogram/pro-modeller and the fw190 series as well to an extent, no doubt others have as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I believe the mould patterns stay in the Ukraine and cellophane-bagged parts get crated to Japan for boxing. No new ploduct then. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Texan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Gotta say, I'm disappointed. Why not do a P-51B since Revell released it's P-51D. That would have been cool. Or, get the molds for the Ki-27 and doctor them to make a great kit from Special Hobby. Why not come out with a Val or Kate? I have no interest in the Rata whatsoever. Happy for you fellows that are, but I have zero interest. Thunda, Out2gtcha and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Gotta say, I'm disappointed. Why not do a P-51B since Revell released it's P-51D. Much MUCH easier for Has to put out a kit that already has molds and plastic cut by another company, and just slap their name on the box and some decals VS having to R&D a whole new plane. That is not to say I wouldn't have LOVED it though! I think most of the WWII guys are chomping at the bit for a new tool decent and correctly modeled (AKA Hasegawa, Tamiya type designed) B model P-51.

I think it is already in my stash if it is the Type 24 ICM kit. it is a Nice kit. The trade and swap of tooling is interesting. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
