ICM

I stumbled across some nice looking 1:35 scale German infantry tools and weapons. I thought others might like to check out for detailing their model kits, while searching for something else. I know nothing about the manfucturer or the retailer or the quality of the actual pieces being offered, but they looked interesting in the image.

ICM should be good enough. It is a Ukrainian manufacturer, which has been around for some time. Not all of the ICM models are perfect - I built some time ago their Ki-27 fighter (1:72) and I noticed that the cockpit floor was so wide that it did not fit at all with fuselage. Lots of cutting and sanding was necessary before the cokpit floor and the fuselage did fit together nicely. But it was not impossible to put together and the end result is probably the best which I have achieved so far. There are some reviews of ICM produts at the web sites (Modeling Madness etc.) - maybe their German Infantry weapons and equipment are also reviewed. Check before you make buying decision.

ICM quality varies from model to model. Some of their 1/72 aircraft (Do-215B-5) are really detailed but have fit is a probolems, while some of their 1/72 vehicles are superb (BTR-60PB, Krupp protze ...). My experiances are with 1/72 but on 1/35 i never herad of a serious defects.
