Introduction
Preceding the release of a new set of German WW1 Infantry,
ICM have given us yet another excellent looking set of WW1 weapons and equipment for the period.
The Set
The set comes in a nice hard cardboard box with a colour picture of the items for reference and the product information and makers logo on the top. Inside are two buff coloured sprues containing the parts. There are a total of 38 items on each sprue, 76 in all. The parts are excellently and cleanly produced and contain a high level of detail.
The instruction sheet comes with a complete listing of the contents and a suggested paint guide and all looks very straight forward there. So let’s have a look at what you get:
- MG08/15 machine gun x 2
- Tankgewwhr M1918 anti tank gun x 2
- Mauser 98a carbine x 4
- Mauser 98 rifle x 4

- Binoculars x 2

I can’t fault any of the items there is an excellent range of pistols, rifles and MGs to give you a wide range of finish figure options and lots of spares for diorama accessories.
Conclusion
What a great selection for modellers. Quality is excellent. I would like to have seen a set of pike helmets included although these will be present in the new German Infantry set, a few more for conversions would have been good.
There are many excellent items in this set I particularly like the MG08/15 and the Mauser M98 rifle with M98/05 bayonet plus of course the excellent Luger and Mauser pistols.
Another cracking set from
ICM.
