Like a Phoenix, ICM roars back to life with six "Made in Ukraine" kits...
ICM from Ukraine have given modellers a little present today. The nature of the invasion into their country and consequences for all Ukrainians has understandably led them, like many of us, to have to wait out this situation and see if life can at some point continue in a normal manner. Of course, that will not happen until the invaders leave, ICM can at least start back to work to inspire the rest of us. They have six new releases coming, We will look at them and a note from ICM to all modellers in our preview...
From ICM:
