maverick_62 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) In generally the ICM kit makes positive impression from it's building, and what's especialy surprised for me, decal is excelent. The model was completely assembled out of the box. Handles on the cabin and rear bampers it's the only parts were made by hand. Thanks for looking, any comments are welcome.

armored76 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Excellent work! A good example that not only big-$$$ kits can deliver good results. This would surely look good on a small base along any cold war Soviet/WP plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Very nice work. I just got one of these, and I'm completely thrown by how the front wheel housings are meant to fit under the engine/cab. I can't seem to place them in any way that seems correct. Thanks in advance for any advice Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That's a nice truck. It's got nice detail for 1/72, not usual blob. These are definitely lacking in the 1/72 world. Nice planes on a dio are nice but it's rare to see the other stuff that just adds to the effect. I'd like to make a collection of just tow tractors, fuel trucks etc. I've seen these in 1/12 R/C, they are amazing trucks, just way out of my price range for the R/C.

Thanks in advance for any advice Gaz I'm afraid i don't quite understand about what you're speaking. As i remember there are no any attachment tabs and instruction just offers the position in mm on the frame for the front wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the curvy part behind the headlight fixture, that sits above the front wheels. Whichever way I try to position them, they wouldn't sit flush for some reason. The instructions also showed them as having a 1mm wide bar between the two pieces, yet that's not how they were on the sprue 🤔 Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also wasted for a few minutes trying to attach this detail, and on the last photo you can see the final result. Not the best, in real life there are no gap between wheel bay and headlight fixture. But here we have what we have, at least it's not much catch eye to my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so its not going to be a perfect fit. Hmm. Perhaps I can scratch a little filling if needed. Thanks for the response, Maverick Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
