Not so much new, but a replacement. Several weeks ago, looking for my next build, I looked at the 1/35 ICM G4 ( the six wheerer limo ) - found I'd broken the Mercedes bonnet star. I emailed ICM, but found that the service department were on holiday! Anyway got email Monday (8/8) & packet delivered today (14/8 )

One entire sprue supplied for just one part - thanks to Daryna, support manager at ICM. Very good service!

Nice story, Dave. ICM's service matches the quality of their more recent kits ... exceptional.

Now THAT is very cool indeed Mark!
What an absolute BEAST...... I`m tending to lean more towards unusual stuff these days,(Expect a Firesale from my stash soon!!),and THAT certainly fits the bill!:thumb2:
I haven`t seen one of those before..... Good spot mate,
Andy
P.S. AND it`s got VINYL TRACKS:tongue-out:...... Excellent!!!

So nowhere near as exciting as Mark's purchase.......

Someone on here recommended this under the Books review section and thought why not as it's something I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about ....£5 second hand.

ATB.

Someone says you won't be disappointed.

You really do unearth some bargains don`t you Peter! :thumb2:
Ever since i built the M3A1 White Scout Car a few years back,(Which is STILL my favourite build and finish BTW!),i`ve wanted to do one of the Half Track Variants.
Problem is,when i could actually find one,the prices were a bit too steep in my eyes:angry:,but,after much searching,i actually found one that was acceptable!!:thumb2:,

Well happy:hungry:,looks like i`m off back to WW2 once i`ve finished my Vietnam Dios,

Hi Andy
That was the second kit I built way back in 2011. A nice kit.

They couldn't have got in any more right. It also means I now have a "stash". :upside:

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
Getting closer to a full collection. Must be getting harder to find the issues you need.

I have had a sniff on ebay I have calculated that there are five or six mags that are unobtainable

Dan,
the HST is a much underrated model, I've made both variants & both turned out well. It was a shame that HobbyBoss never made the 3" AA Gun for it to tow!!
