How true. I bought my I-16 kits and the Gladiator from Ukraine. Two weeks waiting. John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I will probably wait for the chopper to reach my LHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunticus Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I will get one or two as soon as they come out. There are some interesting schemes available besides the boring OD ones (except for the Sharkmouth ones of course). Does anyone know of proof the the top three-view example? Or a Spanish one.

Dave Williams Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Look like CAD drawings of the sprues. Interesting that they have both right/left rotor tails and thin/thick leg skids on the sprues. Unless they gate that section of the sprues off, it should be in all of the kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that is likely that they will gate off parts and you will not get all parts for the different versions in a given boxing. I would vastly prefer getting all parts in one box to do different versions but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yepeeee! It looks a S is coming as well. The separate nose and TOW missiles are good hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Very cool! Really looking forward to these releases, and SO glad ICM decided to make them in the correct scale. D Bellis, D.B. Andrus and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I do hope they will give you all the parts shown so you can build a late version -G. Only potential issue I see is with the turbine inlets. Those louvers look off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrov27 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) wow - nice - instructions show the parts for the "late" production boxing are included on the sprues - wasn't expecting that but I like it edit - at least I THINK that is all the parts needed to a later version Edited April 30, 2021 by petrov27 John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The masking templates are nice, apparently this is to be a feature of ICM kits moving forward. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Looks outstanding! Although, selfishly, I was hoping for some markings with a shark mouth. Guess I'll have to go another route to accomplish that. Definitely picking one of these up! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pleasantly surprised that they included all the extra bits for the later version Snake (solid nose, twin weapon turret, antennas, toilet bowl, etc. Only thing I see that they left out was the XM35 20mm cannon, which is too bad, that's the version I was really looking forward to building. Looks like there is also plenty of room for the aftermarket folks to offer upgraded cockpits, weapons, etc. Hope we'll get some nice offerings from them.
