The Hampden is a great choice and is bound to do well especially in UK a must have as far as I am concerned! Also the F-16 in Ukrainian markings and the Mig 29 in Ukrainian scheme very colourful. The new Henschel HS 129s also look good. You have to admire ICM for continuing to innovate Airfix take note.
Impressed with ICM's approach in the last couple of years. The Hampden in 1:48 is a welcome addition, being more up to date than the hard to find Fonderie Miniatures version.
There seemed to be hints from either ICM or possibly MiniArt that there'd be a 1/35 BTR-3 or 4. It's been up as "Coming Soon" for a long time but disappointing that there's still no sign of them for 2025.
@ronaldbyrne3320 Interesting. I just mentioned the excellent Gaspatch kit because they were happy to deal with me directly. Likewise, I don't see their kits in hobby shops much either.
Will definitely be getting some of these, hampden, DO217, black hawk. Would be cool if they could release the stealth black hawk as used to infiltrate Bin L*dens hideout.
Great video Gary! Thanks for putting this together. I’ve never built anything from ICM but they seem to do some great kits and subjects that other firms just do do 💥💪🏻
Hi Gary. Cool. The Hampden is a definite. I'm hoping they do a Australian production Beaufort V with P&W engines (or Va onwards but tail is different). And the Truppenluftschutzwagen also looks like one for me. Hope your Christmas went well. Aforementioned Fireflash was received, also a Bandai X-wing (and some After Eight Mints, which have already evaporated). Cheers Matt🦘
I'm excited that 3 of the kits released are ones I suggested on their online survey. Both the new Do217s and the Hs129. I'm sure there would have been others who did as well. Best news is the Hampden. :)
Like a lot here, the Hampden is an exciting prospect. I just really, really hope ICM have done their homework and researched this aircraft thoroughly. I would like to think they took full advantage by zealously examining the example that's being restored at Cosford. If they have, this model will be a beauty.
Hampden is very welcome to see coming, the Skycrane is a must for me, just need someone to produce a fire fighter 3D printed add on kit now. However a 1/48 version would be a better shelf size.
Hi Gary is this only as a download ir will there be a good ol Papyrus variant? Hope you had a bit of a chill out with the Missus and model glue ( i dont mean you had to stick her together! You get the drift) :-)
They dont seem to be doing a lot of aircraft at all...esp in 1/72.....there are a few here and there but most of the range of aircraft is in 1 /48 (which i do NOT build) and the majority of their range as a whole is 1/35 military ( which again i dont build) so the only 2 that i would be intrested in would be the Mig-29 and F-16
Loved the Beaufort….looking forward to the Hampden. Great work icm.
Impressive line-up of kits. I remember making the Airfix 1/72 scale Hampden and Henschel Hs-129; interesting to see them both available in 1/48 scale.
That Hampden is going to race off the shelves. I'm 60, and never thought I'd see it in 1/48th injection moulded form.
I agree, I think it will be a massive product for them. I can't wait to see it!

I'm 59 and you couldn't have said it better 😊
I want one in 1:72
I'm tempted! If I can find space then one of these kits will find it's way to my modelling bench 😂

The Hampden and HS-123 kits I have earmarked. Can’t wait. Thanks for the heads up Gary. Best wishes for a happy new year.
Hampden, yes, but the Hs123? Really? Can they improve on the tidy Gaspatch kits?
@ I don’t know but ICM kits are easier to get than Gaspatch kits in my neck of the woods.

Agree! Will have to keep our fingers crossed for 2026.

Hey Matt, I’ll ask Valeriia about the Beaufort V….
That Hampden is a definite and a catalogue pack full of goodies well done ICM 👍

Great review Gary I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Bristol Beaufort
I can't wait for the Hampden! It will be a big day for me when it arrives from ICM 😮😊
With so many British twin engined aircraft with so much glass are there any options for crew. Advice on 1/48 pilots would also be helpful.
The Hampden and Monty’s caravan are very tempting.
Je soutien et je fais ma promo comme je le peux de la marque ICM. En tant que modéliste amateur, je n'ai jamais été déçu par cette marque.
HAMPDEN-NEW-1/48. Three lovely words to put together. ICM you are awesome,may peace come soon to you. Thank you friends
Yes, the Hampden! I'm glad I didn't buy the Vintage Classics version now. That's going to be huge in 1/48 - almost 44cm wingspan.
Thanks; I hadn't even heard of ICM! Now I want to get one of those UH60As.
Would like to see the
Ki-21 turret version
Hello Mr.gary!thank u4ur efforts.i truly appreciate them.thank u4sharing.with sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.faithfully yours.your modellmate.christian
I want to buy about half that catalogue .... best talk to the boss about a payrise on Monday!
You can’t beat the old flying suitcase☺️

Hampden 1/48…..Finally !!!!!!! ICM does great job of aircraft choices. My ICM stash is growing rapidly.
Thanks for sharing
FINALLY, a DECENT Hampden!!
Can you do a livestream where we can all speculate what Airfix's 2025 new kit announcements will be on 14th January? Might be a bit of a laugh 😉
Hampden is very welcome to see coming, the Skycrane is a must for me, just need someone to produce a fire fighter 3D printed add on kit now. However a 1/48 version would be a better shelf size.
489nz sqn used torpedo Hampdens with some interesting schemes so I might be up for one, also I hope ICM is moving o to late war german twins.
nice to know the Hampden is actually going to happen
Thanks for the heads up Gary.
I bet the Hampden sells like hot cakes.
I may get the OV-10D gunship.
Hi Gary is this only as a download ir will there be a good ol Papyrus variant? Hope you had a bit of a chill out with the Missus and model glue ( i dont mean you had to stick her together! You get the drift) :-)
Last year they did have a print version as well, I’d say with the way they’ve done the page layouts it is intended for print.
great info
The Hs 123 in Spanish service is going to be mine!
@guidor.4161 Gaspatch Models already does one of these, which is of high quality .
Alas, no HE-177 this year 😢
They need to do the sky crane in 1/48 scale.
Disappointing that there doesn't seem to be many new miles in 1/72
Bit worried no mention of the 1/72 ch-54 anyone know the status of it
I’ll ask them….
I wish ICM would scale down the Ford A to 1:35 (or 1:32)
Suggest it to them, they do listen to users!
If only some company would release the Handley page Hampden in 1/32 scale. Lacking so many British aircraft in this scale.
Dang it! There goes my bank account and plans for an early retirement.
A 1.48th Hampden , oh yea baby.
Did I hear 1/32 Tiger Moth? That would be awesome to buy and a box review and build.. probably a couple of guid - and multi month build.
I will have to get one, but I’d be so tempted to do a full rigging set up of it! If I can get 1:32 decals of G-ACDC though…
@garys_stuff that would be awesome - a full rigging, definitely something to think about for 2025
Ich hätte gerne eine Ju 388 in 48 gesehen.
Freue mich über die Do 217 k sehr.
Stellen Sie eine Anfrage an ICM, sie hören gerne von ihren Kunden!
@@garys_stuff Das hatte ich getan. Aber Mal schauen, vielleicht 2026.
WW2 bomber fans rejoice! I like the Hs-129 kits.
ICM is out doing Airfix in Brit aircraft.
They dont seem to be doing a lot of aircraft at all...esp in 1/72.....there are a few here and there but most of the range of aircraft is in 1 /48 (which i do NOT build) and the majority of their range as a whole is 1/35 military ( which again i dont build) so the only 2 that i would be intrested in would be the Mig-29 and F-16
@@LonePiper9599 Airfix has the Lysander in 1:48 very soon - that is going to sell very well
@ indeed, I know where a couple will end up
Oh no ! More open wallet surgery. The 2 captured german aircraft, hampden, raf b26 & possibly hs129 if it's right version for enemy aircraft flight.
Leider schlechte KI Übersetzung, sonst schöne Modelle.
1/48 helicopter crew figures; hope they are inside the helicopter, not goofing around in weird poses outside.
geta life!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
By which you mean….???
You sound 'froggy'... Hope its nothing serious. Get well soon
