It's a great time for soft skins!

The Stoewer Kubel is a welcome addition to the available softskins but I find companies like ICM a bit of an enigma. Their stuff is very good but they don't put the word out on new releases enough. I recently picked up their Studebaker US6 U4 with front bumper winch, but found little or no mention of the kit on any of the various website forums, It's not even listed on ICM's own website. They must have a limited sales and advertising department !! Maybe they're gun-shy following the Tamiya/ICM Matilda brew-ha-ha Cheers jjumbo

Sorry, John, the Studebaker is most definitely on their website, though I agree that ICM doesn't put a lot of $$$ into marketing.

Hey Bill, The US6 U4 is a new kit that comes with a front bumper winch. I can't find it on the ICM website as it appears the site hasn't been updated for some time now. Sorry if this is but the same goes for Bronco. They now produce or will produce a number of staff cars but there's no mention on their website. Cheers jjumbo

this is awesome - I wonder if this could be used as a radio car, or maybe a propaganda kompanie vehicle..very cool, very fresh...about time this famous little car was made in styrene...so rad! I guess it's just panzer grey or maybe DAK scheme, is there a tri colour option here? A little convoy of this, a Horch 1a, a citroen, and a Horch kfz. 15 would look cool! A chance to use those early war decals cannot be missed!

I honestly don't see this as any kind of problem. Everything released and announced by ICM (and Bronco), is covered HERE in depth...

Hey Jim, Don't take it the wrong way, you guys that post the news updates do a brilliant job but it seems that sometimes the odd few kits are missed, ICM's Studebaker US6 U4 being one. I looked and couldn't find any reports on the site. Just thought it would be nice if some of the manufacturers would update their websites once in a while with their newest releases !! Cheers jjumbo

A serious problem, is that rarely to manufacturers give us the additional detail (beyond the images) that we actually need. The Studebaker is a case in point. The REAL issue here is the language barrier. I don't speak Chinese or Russian - both of which would be a great help in communication. That way we could really get the details that are needed

Hi, Jim If you need help in communication I can and I'm ready to help you with Russian. No sweat. Chinese is tough issue, I cannot help either.
