Recently having reviewed one of ICM Holding's recent figure sets, the conclusion I came to is that the company is making a big effort to come up with new and innovative products. Having got myself a copy of the 2007 catalogue there are certainly some interesting relaeses planned for this year...
For the first time, the company has announced vehicle releases in both 1/35th AND 1/48th scale. However, if there is any 'trend' developing in the company's plans, it seems to be in the direction of 'softskins' rather than AFVs - a very welcome development. Curiously enough, there are no 1/35th scale figures announced in the catalogue - a pity as, IMO, they went onto a bit of a 'roll' with the excellent May 1945 set...

Starting with 1/35th scale, two vehicle releases have been announced:

35511 - WWII U.S. Army truck: Studebaker US6 - this was actually announced LAST year, however, having spoken to one of their representatives, I was told that it WILL be released.

35522 - WWII German Radio Car le.gl - Einheits-Pkw (Kfz. 2)

1/48th Scale will also see two releases:

48121 - German Light Armored Vehicle Sd.Kfz. 222

48201 - Opel Admiral
- this, for the Aviation modellers, will sell by the truckload!

UNBELIEVABLE Ok the Studebaker is really nice... the Kfz2 is a real surprise and something that is really into my street... but again when the 1:35th world is screaming for affordable civillian cars then the cars are made but in the wrong scale I think I'm going to cry? This is not a debate Axis vs Allied... This is about something that can be used in a lot of diorama's being a staff car or just an ordinairy civillian car. Sigh... we probably only can dream about this thing to happen. With friendly greetz Robert Blokker

I've been seeing that Studebaker listed as coming soon over at Hobbyterra.com for maybe the past 7 or 8 months.. so I hope we actually see these releases in 2007. The ICM figures are getting a bit better. I just got their latest with the officer having his shoes shined.. and it's not too bad. I agree with Robert(Faust) regarding the civilian cars in 1/35. I just don't get it. They would make great dio additions and would sell very well. Why do companies keep shying away from them.. at least in 1/35?

Well, I am glad to see someone recognizing that there were other manufacturers of trucks in WWII other than GMC. I can't wait to stack them up against my Mack NO!
