They simply don’t have the ability to do all they want to do. ICM have come such a long way in terms of quality from when they began in the 1990's with their 1/48 and 1/72 Yak-9's. These new 1/32 scale offerings (and the other new things in smaller scales) are light years ahead of those early offerings. I hope they continue with the esoteric single-engine releases that no one else is doing. I love the Soviet subjects they have done, like the family of I-16's (type 10 and forward) and the I-153. If they chose to, they could continue to fill out with early I-15 series Polikarpov biplanes. The pending arrival of a 1/32 scale Gloster Gladiator is a wonderful thought, too.

Tony T Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Really looking forward to the Gladiator, which should get a lot of mileage in various Baltic markings. A scaled-up "flat pack" 1/32 Foxbat would be stunning. Another Baltic beast, and with a Ukrainian connection. Found the 1/48 Foxbat a real treat to build. Requires care, but I liken ICM to Tamiya or Hasegawa in engineering fit moulded in Trumpy Boss styrene. The Revell Ju 88 and He 111 kits are pretty good, but a scaled-up Do 215 and 217 night-fighter would really be something. Quite tempted by ICM's 1/24 car kits and figures too. Might dip into those this year. Ford Model T might be a hoot! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
