It looks like they are releasing the figures from the Mercedes G4 kit as a seperate kit. I haven't built them yet but they look very nice in the box. The Opel is on my "to-get" list. Thanks for the update.

They are also working on a new Soviet Tank crew set, a modern one- a crew from 1979-1988- that should be a very welcome release.

Didn't the Allies have staff cars? Common ICM, how about a Ford or Humber staff car?

Well the same story every time... After 30 years of modelling Panthers and Tigers finally a producer renders unusually kits in styrene and all people do is immediately start whining:

"Why this one and not that one?"
"Why axis and not allies?"
"Why 1/35 and not 1/48?"
yada-yada-yada....

I'm so happy that these Ukrainian companies break the monotonicity of Dragons and AFV Clubs 3rd billion Panther and 4th billion Tiger that I don't care if every single new model fits my taste to 100%. These are really great times for military modellers and I'm glad that I'm allowed to be a part of it...

Really?!! It would be great Karl!

Anyway, this German set looks very nice indeed

ICM are making graet additions to the German Softskin range.

Excellent developments.
