A week or two ago, we ran a Report featuring the CAD Images of the Mercedes G4 Staff Car from ICM. Now, we can bring you ACTUAL images of the model, the sprues and the figures.
The New model featured in the Images, is:

35531 - G4 (1939 production), German Car with Passengers

Company-suppled Details:

The three-axle off-road passenger car G4 (W31) was designed dy Daimler-Benz in 1934. This car had 8-cylinder engine of 100 (later 110) hp and 6 passenger seats. Only 72 G4 cars were produced with production stopping in 1939.

Highly detailed chassis, engine and interior. 4 versions decal sheet included. Four figures included
.

Our thanks to ICM for the Image Update!

While this is not really an area of the hobby I am really interested in I can see this being a popular model and the figures look very good to boot. It is unusual to see a female figure that actually looks feminine.

It looks very sharp - I just hope it doesn't hurt my wallet too much when (not if) I get one! The one thing that does puzzle me is the way they offer decal flag options for the Nazi regime (as are often seen in historic pictures) but no components for the "angry spiders" that should go in the middle of the white circles. I know it's a very contentious point, but for those who feel they are part of the historic "truth" of the model (regardless of distasteful political/ethical connotations) the absence of these markings is an inconvenience to be resolved if necessary through extra expense from the AM market.

Definitely on my to buy list. Already have a K15 Horcht and Tamiya motorcycles to go with it.

Looks really nice with a lot of details.. and like Darren said, the figures look pretty good, too. Like I said before, I don't really do any WWII German stuff anymore, but I just have to get one of these. Hisham

On the subject of the swastika: for any model company wanting to sell in Germany, it's more than just an ethical or political consideration - it's a legal one. Yes, they're historically accurate, but they're flat illegal when displayed in Germany. Just like the tobacco ads left off of racing car and motorcycle models, they're simply something to be acquired from the aftermarket.
