ICM 1/35 Prost! (35343)

Today we are going to talk about ICM 1/35 Prost! (35343). New kit comes as combo-release in popular scale. You will find figures together with Bergenpanther, and those should combine into an interesting diorama project. Vehicle was released in other versions previously, but this time you get a bit more focused product. Packaging is typical for this brand. There are 348 parts for assembly of the model with 205mm length, and 33 parts for four figures and dog. Let's open everything and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with firetruck from the same brand.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


We are going to start with the biggest frame in the kit. Here you will find hull panels as well as some pioneer tools.


This frame comes in two pieces. Each roadwheel should be glued out of two parts. There are no painting templates, so be ready to make your own masks.


Here you can see parts for Bergenpanther version. Crane mast can benefit from some weathering as well as wooden parts replacing turret opening. Note that there is no interior in this kit.


Lower hull section comes as single-piece part, so you get the right fitment out of the box. There are some features premolded which look fine for this scale.


Top section is also one-piece with separate hatches and engine bay covers. Well, all meshes might benefit from aftermarket PE in my opinion.


Plastic tracks are always welcome in armored vehicle kit. Such thing will look a bit more convincing than typical vinyl accessories.


Decals sheet is not that big and carries traditional German crosses.


Figures parts come on the separate frame. Overall design is typical for this scale, but be careful while assembling dog which is separated into two halves. :)


Assembly manual for figures come on the separate printout. You can check all pages in the video-review.


New kit should be already available for purchase. ICM did something unusual here as we get a bit more specific scene which can turn into an interesting diorama project. Moreover, standard package looks nice and should be easy to build. Bergenpanther has good potential for aftermarket updates and weathering. The only question is whether you would like to add more or you are fine with standard features.
