airmechaja Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Anyone ever build any ICM kits? If so, how is the quality, the fit etc? Edited October 23, 2021 by airmechaja spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I just got a couple of their B-26’s and Firebee’s after reading some reviews and watching a few builds, which were favorable. So far they look nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck1945 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 You don’t mention scale, in 1/72 some of their older kits I-16 for example are over engineered and can cause trouble during assembly. Their Bf 19E is a clone of Tamiya’s kit (with a slightly lengthened fuselage) but the Tamiya kits fit much better. Their newer ones (Do 17Z, Do 215) offer more variants, are crisply molded, and fit better but are still over engineered, - why have one part if you can break it down into 3 or 4 parts.

airmechaja Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks for your feedback gents. I'm looking at their new 1/48 Bronco OV-10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 ICM's new stuff is really nice, some of their early kits were challenging and overengineered. Some were clones of other companies, like their P-51 series. Their new B-26 is really nice, and their Bronco will likely be as well. In my opinion they are one of the better kit makers now, they are up their with Eduard in quality. I am definitely getting the Bronco, and probably their monster 1/35 CH-54 when it comes out.

caudleryan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The A-26 Invader kits go together very well. I'm building the new K variant that just came out and you can't even tell that some parts are two pieces. Then again, the fit of the nose can be tricky to fit right.
