hey guys, heres a kit i got dirt cheap on ebay along with a few other icm kits and to be honest they are kinda fun and great for trying new finishing techniques on, anyway heres the pics, feel free to comment anyway you like and thanks for looking.
heres 2 pics with his brother,
As always… just BEAUTIFUL!
That flammpanzer looks sweet!
Looks like metal, great job Bif. They sure don’t look like cheap builds to me.
PS. Was looking back through older posts tonight and came across your 251 winter scene. Just superb.
Looks great! The weathering is amazing! The builds look great! You did an excellent job!
Excellent work. Always wanted to see one of these little ICM kits built up. I have their Luchs waiting in the stash, if ever I get around to it.
Nice little fire-breather. I’ll have to build mine now.
Did the kit give you any grief?
Outstanding work, Ron!
You’ve done an excellent job bringing this little kit to life.
Thanks for sharing and “well done”!
Nice job on the weathering and paint. I always thought ICM kits were underrated.
many thanks guys for the comments,
these icm kits can be a tad finicky especially the road wheels or more precisly the arms that hold the road wheels are flimsy which makes lining the wheels up a bit difficult but once the tracks are on its sorted and this particular kit and also the pII where the lower and upper hulls join in the rear there are two tab like pieces on the lower part that slip throught and become part of the upper hull you will see what i mean when you get there, these need a bit of filler and fixing but other than that i really enjoyed them and they do some unusual kits which i like a lot things that you dont see very often.
im currently building another icm kit the T-28 and wow what a beast heh im gonna go with a dirty winter finish on this and if it goes well im gonna get the T-25 that thing looks like a battleship lol.
zok i built the luchs last year its not too bad, if i remember right the same thing applies to it also regarding the road wheels and real hull area. other than that i didnt recall any problems other than my own limitations i will probably do this kit again myself applying the new things ive learnt since last year.
thanks again all.
I’ve built 4or5 ICM Luchs. The one thing I remember is that the two halves of the drive sprockets did not line up. I had to sand off line pins and lay a toothpick across it to make sure there strait. I learned that the hard way on the 1st one resulting in crooked tracks. Other than that I liked it.
I agree with biffa with enjoying the different subjects.
Very nice builds, the coloring and weather. Outstading bulids.
Wonderful job on the build.
looks really cool, very reminiscent of the models done by tony greenland in military modelling some years ago. Not essentially a bad thing, he was and still is a force very much out in front of ww2 german armour modelling.
I think the good photography lends greatly to a post. keep up the good work.
Regards,
Terry Burke.
Looks good
Good to hear there aren’t too many faults with it. I’ve inspected the sprues, and they’re just soaked in the mould release agent. It’ll take a while to prep the kits for assembly by the looks of it.
That’s not “mould release agent”, that’s cosmoline! 
(For those that don’t know, or get my lame joke, many russian factories were dual purpose. i.e. made weapons during the day, and toys at night. Or so my ruskie wife tells me)
