Rakovica Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Spectacular news! Edited December 26, 2021 by Rakovica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 It is as it is: Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese companies are running our hobby. I for myself can only congratulate! - and please excuse, most exciting news for me is the Unimog S 404 (proposed for decades inside RoG and again and again rejected) in 35th and I only wish to see it in 48th as it was present on the Westgerman flightlines for different purposes during the Cold War (also on BAOR AFBs?). All the Best and Season Greetings from Charlottengrad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakovica Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Though it's still early, looking at the ICM practice with their other new kit lines in 1/48, like Ju 88 and Invader, I'd say it's reasonable to expect the turret equipped IIb version as well, and maybe even Ki-57 Topsy transport version, who knows. Many thanks to ICM for this project! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Great news, although I was hoping for a Ju 188 and Do 217 K or M. Alas! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuger91 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Also waiting for Ju 88 G/S/T B-26 Marauder B-25 late versions Edited December 26, 2021 by Wuger91 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Ah, yes, a Marauder would also be great for me! But a B-25 Mitchell might fit better into ICM's scheme of models of airplanes that allow a plethora of kits of different versions.

SleeperService Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Interesting choice and also used by the Thai's. I may be tempted by this one. ICM are going to bankrupt me at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldAnderson Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Oh wow! This is a dream come true for me. A 1/48 Ki-21 - pinches self. Just fascinated with this plane (and others) variegated camouflage I saw as a kid reading the Donald Thorpe IJAAF camo book. ICM, Dora Wings, Modelsvit, and so many other manufacturers - truly golden era for variety and quality today. Way to go, ICM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamwriter Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Just imagine if they decide to do all those japanese light to heavy bombers! The Ki-67 Hiryu "Peggy", Ki-49 Donryu "Helen", G3M Rikko "Nell" or the P1Y Ginga "Frances" and a few others. Would be great to have new molds of these subjects,and most of them were never done in 1/48. A new Ki-48 Lily to replace the ill fitting AZ Model kit would be great too. It seems that 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year of kit releases. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Great news. I was always surprised Hasegawa didn't at least do a new tool one in 1/72. Edited December 26, 2021 by SeaVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also very widely used by the VVS, Both C and D, as well as J versions, plus some postwar use, and some experimental modifications as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
