I have ICM kit number 35467. I got it when a friend passed on. I was wondering if the Verlinden Radio kit for the Opel Blitz truck kit number 1571 would suffice for parts for the interior. As the ICM kit is devoid of anything on the inside. Thanks.

IBG do a resin interior for their similar radio and telephone truck. It costs about 4 times the cost of the kit, but is pretty complete!

That set is actually to update/detail IBG's telephone exchange van. You would probably want to get Niko IN-08 to use with the ICM kit, which is a conversion kit for IBG's kit to build a radio truck. This would have the proper interior radio parts.
Having said that, a quick search on the net shows that both sets seem to be hard to come by now. Both IBG and Niko no longer appear to list them on their websites, Ebay is showing nothing, etc.
