Since I've made a lot of ICM models, I decided to give their acrylic paints a try........................

6 pots - 12ml each for £8.75 delivered. The bottles are marked 'Made in the Ukraine by ICM' . It says they are optimised for brush painting & will need diluting for airbrush.
I don't have a ICM Marder to paint, but they seemed to me to be the most useful selection of paints from the ICM sets! Might be a while before I can review them.......

I'm an Anton guy personally. But that book is a great read and full of really good info.

I have had my eye on this series of kits for a while now, like our Mr. Smiff too. Snagged off evilbay for €35 delivered,



Looks real good and the tires aren't the rubber nonsense type. Hope to set it in Italy somewhere with a Pz. IV G late, a crane and a motor or two in the back...

I have the Tamiya album, that I took that photo from. I also have a couple of the Verlinden Way books, but if this diorama appeared in an issue of those, then it’s not in the ones I own. But I recognise the figures next to the tank as the Flak crew in winter uniforms that Tamiya released.

Bought this Golden oldie off e.bay.Always wanted to do one since i saw Francois Verlindens take on it in his Tamiya special of diorama works.I might do a bit of improvement on it but im not a lover of P.E sets.I know there are better kits by Afv etc but good enough for me with John Race watching me like a hawk.View attachment 435823

I'm sure you'll do a sterling job Rich.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Had a quick look in the box, typical ICM quality and lots of small bits to keep me on the ball.

A little packet slipped though my letterbox................

From Aerocraft Models cast brass undercarriage parts for replacing the scale ( weak! ) items of the ICM 1/48 Cessna O-2A Skymaster

Because of the lack of detail on my tamiya bismarck I have ordered some PE.

I have the same kit and PE, so will watch to learn Peter!

 

[BattleshipBob]

Fed up with turning round barells into squares took Wasdale32 (sorry do not know name?) advice and bought this

Only £6, will give it a go!

 

[AlanG]

Looking forward to see how you get on with it Bob.
