ICM Yak-9T
Hi All!
When ICM came onto the market 25 + years ago, there was some excitement. They were releasing a series of Yak fighters. No one had done the Yak series before. But the excitement soon turned to disappointment as the kits lacked [...]
Oldies but Goodies
Here are some of my builds from 2013-15 era before we left Louisiana and moved to Minnesota. Sadly none of these build made it on the trek North and were either sold or given away. The kits pictured are as I recall:
1/350 Hobbyboss USS [...]
ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS
The latest off the slab, an ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS built pretty much oob with a few tweaks to cockpit and air filter. Painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with pastels. A quick, easy build and one that I can thoroughly recommend!
ICM Mig-3
Hi All!
Have you ever started a kit and soon wondered “What the hell” did I get myself into? That kit for me is the ICM 1/48th scale Mig-3. Rarely have I run across a kit that fit so badly, was over-engineered, and with the amount of [...]
1/48 Ju88
ICM Junkers Ju88C-6 daytime fighter of 14./KG40 Bordeaux France 1942-43. I painted it in what I think is accurate based on research. Colours of Rlm74/76/77. Who can say for sure but I hope it's close.
Another great ICM release.
Thank you [...]

Review: ICM 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 type 24
Nikolai Polikarpov was perhaps the leading Russian aircraft designer in the early days of the Soviet aircraft industry. In 1918, he was put in charge of preparing manufacture of the DH-4 at the GAZ-1 facility where at least 63 were [...]
ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader (Drone Carrier)
A recently completed ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader built out of the box. I replaced the kits BQM-34A (Q-2C) Firebee with a KDA-1 (Q2A) as I'm given to understand that the aircraft never flew with a mixed 'load' (?) Finished with Tamiya XF's and [...]
ICM 1/48 P-51 Mustang: Nightmare NMF Project
This project took the joy out of model building which isn't good for my 6th build. The ICM kit was subpar by every standard. The instructions didn't include the paint scheme or decal layout for the box art version which is what I built. [...]
