ICM model kits

ICM 1/48 B-26K Counter Invader build

Stumbled across Hammerhead Model Making's build of the B-26K "Special Kay" using the ICM kit and thought others might enjoy it. Run time is just over an hour. (link) Because of video editing things magically change during the [...]

1/48 ICM BQM-34A Firebee

A nice simple model of an important drone. The Ryan BQM-34A was the first in a series of drones used for military purposes. They were used for target emulation, high and low altitude recon, ECM, E-LINT missions and defense/radar [...]

Review: Kit Review for 1/48 scale ICM Ki-21 "Sally" #48195

This is a model that I have been wanting for many years. I have not included any of the history behind this aircraft. Several years ago I read that ICM was going to someday be releasing a kit of this plane in 1/48 scale. Once I knew [...]

It’s finally here ! ICM 1/48 scale Ki-21 “Sally” kit number 48195

This is a model that I have been waiting for every since I first heard about it becoming a reality. I pre ordered it from Squadron Mail Order when they announced it would be available for pre order purchase. The anticipation was great. [...]

Bristol Beaufort Mk. Ia

Here's my recently completed Beaufort torpedo bomber with tropical filters from ICM in 1:48. I've done several ICM builds, and this is one of the best kits from ICM I've encountered so far. No problems at all. the fit was near perfect, [...]

ICM 1/32 Gloster Sea Gladiator MK.II

What a fantastic kit. Any issues and errors in the build were wholly down to me. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as my first ever 1/32 completion. Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. Painted with, Colourcoats Interior Grey Green, [...]

ICM 1/72 BM-21 Grad

In my long ago stint in the military I was an expert at identifying all vehicles and aircraft in the Soviet arsenal. At that time the BM-21 was a fearsome weapon and there was no equivalent in the U.S. inventory. When I saw the recent [...]

Revell/ICM 1:48 O-2A Skymaster "Kudy Jay"

OK, I am exe Army Air Corps so why Vietnam? Well part of our pilots job was AOP and on occasions FAC and I don't think most of us could imagine the workload and sheer terror (at times) and huge amount of skill these pilots went through. I [...]

Quick! What was the most produced Allied fighter...

Quick! What was the most produced Allied fighter of WW2? Since this is an article on Yaks, I guess I gave the answer away already. Yep, Aleksandr Yakovlev's Yak series, about 35,700 being put together by 6 factories. Now 2000 or so were [...]

Spitfire Mk.IX UT. The Red Trainer

I converted the 1/48 ICM Spitfire to the Soviet AF UT version. Their own pilot rainer. Soviets rebuild nearly any used western aircraft type to a trainer version to help the pilots to understand the aircraft during the training. The kit [...]
