Don't really understand why ZM didn't release this model with both clear and regular fuselage and wings. I specifically stayed away from it for this reason.

Don't care for whirly birds, but if it sells and makes ICM some bucks, that's fine by me.

The amount of interior detail on those CAD's is reminiscent of the work being done by Zoukei Mura. I like it.

Radu, your sheet of Romanian Hs 129's is where to go for accurate Romanian markings. IIRC, these markings are included along with 7 other options.

The biggest problem with these markings: Not enough of them. Just two schemes when there could be at least a couple more. Hope the after market guys come through with more Italian marking alternates.

Perfect condition, inside and out. The seller just had no idea what they had. Completely ignorant. They could have sold that kit for $150.00 to $200.00, pre WNW meltdown.

Last year I picked up a WNW LVG VI at an estate sale for a dollar. Ignorance can really be expensive.

Meh...

More Soviet era stuff from WWII and before would be my preference. Round out the Polikarpov family of bi-planes (I-15, I-152, Po-2,) and then lets see some Lavochkin fighters, such as the LaGG-3, La-5, La-5FN, La-7. Also, I like engine detail, even on in-line engined aircraft.

It's all good; Italian, German, Belgian, Hungarian, Swedish, yada, yada, yada...

Reviewer seems to be holding out the possibility that others may still want to try their hand at a 1/32 scale Fokker Dr.1, while hinting at a Copper State Models effort.

Care to post a photo of your Stearman and include some of the wings and control surfaces? Thanks in advance if you can.

One thing I see on the Roden Kit that appears absent on the ICM Kit:. Rib tape detail.

Hope they sell a shed load of the phantoms so as to fund the other projects announced. I'm just glad they have survived the pandemic thus far. The silence from the lack of news letters coming from them was thunderous.
