Hey guys,

Got a vehicles I want to do as an Esat german and wanted some figures to go along with it and was looking at the ICM East German figures but could not find a pictures of the actual models and as I have never bought any was hoping someone here could fill me in on the quality, are they worth the money? they up to par with lets say DML figures?
I was thinking of using these just with the Hornet E. German heads.





TIA

Thomas- The ICM figures aren,t half bad. Not as good as DML, but the figures will work. When it comes down to East German figures there isn,t much out there. Cheers-

I cant comment on those motor rifles but I bought an set of DML Spetsnaz, under the Italeri name, and they were dreadful. ICM figures are actually not too bad and the detail is usually quite crisp and nice. East German uniforms didnt actually differ to much from the ww2 unifroms so you could have a go at converting some WW2 germans. Also Hornet does a really ncie East German figure in white metal.

Thanks for the info guys.
Yes I have that figure from Hornet as well as the head sets but as I need more than one I was looking around for good figures,but if the ICM figures are ok and with the hornet heads and a little work they might be what I need.
