ICM 1/35 Wehrmacht 3t Trucks (DS3507)





This time we have a chance to check ICM 1/35 Wehrmacht 3t Trucks (DS3507). This set continues line of combo-packages from Ukrainian brand. As you can notice, this time we get a chance to copy German trucks what might be handy for some kind of diorama. Packaging is typical, kits are separated into several bags. There are 182 parts for V3000S, 174 parts for KHD S3000 and 176 parts for L3000S truck. All this comes in three separate bags. Let's open them and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another combo-set from ICM.

Here we will have slightly different review order. As you can see, we are going to start with clear parts and vinyl tires. Note that all three kits here come without any masks included.


Plastic rims and axles come on the next frame. This section of the model should be quite detailed and easy to work with.


Next you see front cab panels. Doors are molded separately, so it is possible to open them on your model.


ICM includes tent frames, some modelers might use it in order to install their own tarpauline copy. Here you can also see some of the engine parts.


Rear section should be easy to assemble. You just have to pay attention to the overall alignment. Of course, it might be good place to play with weathering.


Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included. Vinyl tires are ok for out-of-the-box build.


We continue with another set of frames for the next truck. Overall design is pretty much the same, so front cab is divided into separate panels and doors.


Both chassis bars are molded together with leaf sprints. Here you can also see wheel axles and wheel rims.


Again, rear bed should be glued out of several panels. I recommend to try to copy wooden texture on this panels for even more convincing appearance.


Clear frame looks fine and should be easy to work with.


Third set of parts starts with front cab panels. Again we have separate doors, so all three can be built with open cabs.


Nevertheless, here you will find more small parts, so be ready to work with tweezers. Thin parts might require use of plastic saw instead of cutters.


It is good to see plastic wheels here. Such elements should be easier to paint and weather.


All three decals sheets look fine and should be quick to apply. Assembly manuals are typical for ICM, I show all pages in the video-review.


New combo-set should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great combo for modelers who would like to have all three at once. You don't have to build them at the same time, but still such package might be a bit more cost-efficient. Moreover, all three look like decent kits in popular scale. They have nice details and can be used for some interesting diorama project. The only thing required from you - careful assembly and decision on the what will be open or closed.
