ICM announced in their 2002 (or earlier I don't remember) catalog Russian armor new releases such 2S19, 2S6 and so on.
Skif did the same with a least their T84.
Has anyone any news about those old good "announcements" ?

TIA

I believe ICM is no longer around... Could be wrong there but I thought I had heard couple of months ago that ICM stopped. Revell brought out some of their figure sets

Probably somebody else can clarify this

A company called Alanger have bought the old ICM moulds they'd be the best to contact about the futre releases

I don't know what has been going on these last 4 years with ICM, but they are still making models and got a new web site: ICM Holding

They recently released a few kits: WWI German figs, Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan, WWII Sub... judging from their website, they also seem to be reboxing the Skif armor and A-Model aviation kits

I would love to see a 2S19 or the T-84, or the Tunguska but I think these have a long way from our workbenches.

On the other hand, Zvezda might actually come out with their Spetsnaz and T-90 sets - they have been quick to release most of the promised kits for 2004.

I do have it on good authority (my friend in Krivoj Rog) that SKIF is going to release the T-84 kit soon...(when i do not know for sure) His contact is a worker at Skif, so there!

ICM...who knows anymore. I gave up.

Checked out the site.... interesting, I certainly would spring for a few sets of the figures,

Thanks for sharing the link.
Just a remark, I find it strange that all the 1:35 tank series box arts are those of the same SKIF kits !

Will ICM just rebox old SKIF kits, or will they release kits from their own moulds ?
