Thks Craig I have a deep affinity to ICM kits now they are a joy to build.A little feature the wing tip lights have a long extension that fits into the wing being clear of course you paint that part and the color goes to the lens.I thought it was kind of neat . 12 minutes ago, Canute said: Nicely done, Javlin. 👍 Thks Ken.

CDW Posted June 14, 2022 #35 Posted June 14, 2022 I just wonder what will become of these companies in Ukraine such as ICM. Of course, their products are produced in Asia but the companies themselves are based in Ukraine. My current project is one of these affected, Model Art.

Egilman Posted June 14, 2022 #39 Posted June 14, 2022 That weathered Desert Yellow with the Sky Blue undersides is a difficult scheme to pull off... (usually gets mucked up in the transition) But you did it well, it sure looks the part... Can't see any blue from the top and no yellow from the bottom.... Perfect! Very, Very well done.....

Yves You are correct Yves about the variety of kits they are producing/quality I think ICM is fast approaching Tamyia standards in the future for me it will be Revell of Germany,ICM or Eduard.Which leads me to the next project(s) is it the Eduard Mustangs(3)?I have an affliction for ReCon crates.

I tend to agree with the three companies you mentioned. Eduard is definitely a favorite while Revell Germany turns out nice models at a favorable price. Wait until you try a Mini Base kit. Wow, they are amazing! We are in the golden age of modeling. However, Tamiya remains the gold standard AFAIAC.

Danstream Posted June 17, 2022 #46 Posted June 17, 2022 Excellent model Javlin! Nicely assembled and finished. The paintwork of an otherwise just drab finish came out very interestingly textured and very realistic. I repeat what I said, the transparent parts are very sharply done. Bravo!

Dan Thks Dan a long build for me but it paid off in the end ICM kits are Nice! Oh Dan as to the clear parts I attached them first for good adhesion then with a q-tip slightly damp I coated the clear parts with Future.

Javlin Posted June 17, 2023 Author #50 Posted June 17, 2023 I went to the NorthShore IPMS meet today with five kits she came in 2nd with some competition.The winner was a Nice P-47 but if he was a 100 I was 95,96 or 97 the judges spent some time.My 1/32 P-47 Hase Mrs. Ceasar came in last 2nd to a dive bombing 1/24 Stuka w/o a pilot?Don't get me wrong a Nice build I felt we were about even had more work in my plane. ccoyle, mtaylor, Egilman and 7 others 10 Quote
