Here is the completed earlier ICM Series 1 Liberty Truck. You can see the alternate electric lighting as mounted on the cowl. This is a beautifully engineered model with great fit and a lot of detail. ICM has done a wonderful job on both these Series models.

And the original Series 1:

Items that would be on my wish list to add to both these models: - A small bit of PE to represent those leather belts absolutely necessary to hold down the front edge of the cab cloth top. ICM provides nothing to cover this particular detail. - Black decals for the lettering that goes on the canvas top. As you can see in my photo the low visibility blue practically disappears on my canvas top. The original vehicle employed both colored lettering styles of text on the canvas. - A decal to represent the Engineers plaque that should appear below the driver's seat. ICM included the raised triangular plaques in the model but no decal.

On a related topic: I would like to file a "constructive complaint or objection to" regarding Armorama's practice of publishing manufacture announcements of multiple products but then picking only one of those products to show. This thread is a prime example of the practice. The Series 2 Liberty Truck gets all the coverage but the Panzerspähwagen gets only a minor mention and a follow-up photo!

I was just thinking the same thing in that the Pz Spah wagon seems interesting and that I'd like to read more on it. The CDM turret really look interesting on that chassis.

Don't shoot the messenger! (that is, me ) The information released by ICM is just that... the name of the model and one single photo: LINK I hate also not having material for making a better news, but more often than not I get very little info...

Carlos - Thank you for your reply however I guess I was referring to something we have spoken of before. In that I feel if the announcement covers two products from a manufacture both products should be covered equally in the opening Armorama thread page. In my mind the opening page should contain (if two products are announced) two separate product titles and two photos, one of each product. Then we the viewer can choose to go to further, going to the reference page where the manufacture may choose (as they often do) to place more photos and information. Otherwise the Armorama opening page might as well just say "here's the link, do what you want". As it is I feel we are not giving the manufacture his/her full due. Also we run the risk of the viewer missing something they would otherwise be interested in. A photo of each product speaks much louder than just an additional text mention in the headline.
