brewerjerry Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hi is it possible they read the date 10.2.22 as i originaly did thinking oct 2nd 22 and not 10th feb 22 as it was meant to be read ? i hope it is not delayed cheers jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 1 hour ago, brewerjerry said: is it possible they read the date Well, October is IV quarter 2022. But Hannants doesn't have to read release date from the ICM website. They got whole new kits listing with release dates directly from ICM. How else could they have known the catalogue numbers of the novelties before the catalogue was published? Moreover - how would they know the release dates when none of the announced models are yet posted on the ICM website? The faith in information published on websites is greatly exaggerated. You can actually check it out - click on either of these two links https://icm.com.ua/2021/04/07/in-process-1-32-dh-82c-tiger-moth/ or https://icm.com.ua/2021/10/06/in-process-1-48-gotha-go-242a/ and try to find "more information". The landing pages, https://icm.com.ua/aviation/dh-82c-tiger-moth/ and https://icm.com.ua/aviation/gotha-go-242a/ respectively, do not exist at the moment, although they were already published and were available for a long time. I downloaded the boxart for 32036 in April 2021. Both kits were announced in 2021 catalogue, both had illustrations published... and both are missing even from search results. With "In process" box checked only two kits were displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornet133 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Well the DAP Beaufort V is basically the same as a Beaufort Mk II so not hard to get to a Mk.II from there. Note - I said 'basically' before some rivet counter starts pointing out possible minor differences. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I messaged ICM and asked about the Beaufort and they replied that they were planning to release it in July. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Irrespective of when it gets released has anyone seen any sprue shots or CAD images of this kit yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi curious as to the situation with this ICM release with the current situation any updates ? cheers jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't have information but can only assume they have some long term issues with producing the kit. Normally ICM release stuff when they say they will, within the catalogue year, but this one has been in the making for a while (of course the war situation will have some impact but they are still churning out other items from the 2022 programme) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon J Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I asked at the start of the year if there were any sprue shots or CAD images of this kit but aside from a few variations on the box art there has been nothing. Not sure if the Russian invasion is having an impact on their productivity. For all we know the guy designing the kit could be splitting his time between the office and the front line.

Piotr Mikolajski Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 23 hours ago, brewerjerry said: any updates ? As I wrote in December, Hannants got information about planned release dates from ICM. The release of the kit was planned for the autumn and so far nothing has changed - ICM announces a release date of 10 September, so realistically the model will be in shops at the end of that month or in October. Unless, of course, there are delays, but we will find out about those too in September or October. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
