Thanks! I've been very happy with everything I've seen from them so far.

Thank you!

Looks good, nicely done!

Beautiful work on these!

Thanks, guys! Supposedly it did about sixty miles in its first day, does that count? ? That's where I am with their W31 kit. I was dumb enough to go into this one thinking "oh, small car and a single parts runner - how hard could it be?" Fair point! ? And yes - I only had a short window each day where I could really work on this before I felt like I was going crosseyed.

Very cool! And I'd say that's pretty legitimate - it has the tag and everything!

Great looking build, nice job!

This was my second go at an ICM kit, and much like their Renault taxi it was a beautiful little kit if a bit over-engineered. The main tree had more parts than some whole kits that I've built, with many of them being incredibly tiny. But fit and finish were excellent, and the photoetch wheel spokes and chain drives really do add to the finished look. My only addition was a cloth belt, using the optional "make your own belt" pulleys included in the kit. A full writeup is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome! The engine: And one last shot with a current 1/24 scale Mercedes-Benz for size comparison:

I really like that color, nice job!

Excellent job, that's a great looking little Ford! Really like the upgrades you made.

Excellent! Also, got to throw in here how much I like that Joker Merc.

Very cool, I really like what you did for the woodgrain.

Very clean work, that looks great!

Nice! I used Revell's trailer for mine, it was cheaper to find than the Fruehauf trailer at the time. Looking forward to seeing your finished rig.

That was my guess, but I've done enough part swapping to never take it for granted!

Looking good! Will you be making the trailer for him as well?

Looks great! I heard a rumor a while back that importing and facelifting these was considered as an alternative to what eventually became the Mustang II. With that rear overhead shot, you can certainly see some inspiration for the idea.

Very nice, the T-Bird looks great in that color!

That looks great, nicely done!

Beautiful work on this! Is it the AMT or Revell Kenworth?

Excellent work on this!

That's it, and it's really only noticeable on the rears - so a pretty small change in the grand scheme of things. I likely wouldn't even bother updating them except I like having an excuse for extra wheels in the stash.

Great looking build and nice inspiration for it!

That looks good, I really like the subtlety of the striping.

Excellent work on this! I had built mine using the same plan of "quick and (mostly) box stock," got it done, but now Fireball Modelworks has a corrected set of wheels so it looks like I'm not quite finished after all.
