I'd really like to do a Soviet ATG. I'd really prefer it to be a 45mm gun. It looks like ICM used to make one, but I don't seem to see it for sale anywhere. I'm also thinking about a miniart 76. Seems like reviews on those are mixed....

Any pointers to a 45, or if someone has done a miniart 76 recently any thoughts on it?

Thanks!
Phil

The ICM 45 mm gun kit was well-done, in my opinion. The wire wheels on the early variant were a bit thick, given the limitations of styrene molding, but the kit also offered parts for the later, long-barrel version with the solid stamped disk wheels and tires. No figures, but there are Russian gun crews available separately from other makers.

It doesn't seem to be in miniart's catalogue though. Did they announce it and just never get around to releasing it?

Scalemates list it as "Future."
