ICM 1/35 AHN Gulaschkanone with Cooks (35421)

This article will tell you more about ICM 1/35 AHN Gulaschkanone with Cooks (35421). As you can guess from the name, new release comes as combo-set in popular scale. It might be familiar to some of you as I reviewed the previous version. Well, this time we also get figures and some items. All this can be combined into diorama project with unusual look. In total there are 178 parts for the truck, 88 parts for the field kitchen and 61 parts for cooks figurines. Packaging is typical for the brand, so let's open it and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with original release without any additions.

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


First frame is for the truck's front cab. Doors are separate, and it might come handy for some diorama ideas.


Wheel rims come on two sprues. Overall design looks fine, and it should be easy to paint them separately from tires.


Field kitchen has its own frame. Yes, it will be on the wheels, so you can even try to place it outside of the truck.


Figurines are finished in typical for this scale design - separate legs, hands and one-piece torso. Molding quality looks great, but in some cases you will have to work on smooth joints between parts.


Yes, kit features vinyl tires. Those should be okay for standard build, but for something more sophisticated I would recommend to find aftermarket.


Rear section is exactly the same as on the "simple" truck. Here you can see subframe which will be supporting floor panel.


More parts come on the next frame. I like surface details on those, it might be worth picking them out with weathering.


This frame comes in two and carries various items for kitchen. Such thing should be useful for a bit more interesting diorama.


Truck also gets nicely detailed drivetrain, so it might be worth exposing the engine for example. You can also try to replicate wiring on the truck.


Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality is great, but there are no masks included.


Decals sheet is not that big, but printing quality looks great. There are all necessary symbols for several options. Assembly manual is typical for ICM, and I show all pages in the video-review.


New combo-set should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers who are searching for something different. Overall idea is nice and it should be easy to assemble too. Moreover, there are a lot of features straight out of the box, so you just need to paint them. Diorama base is a must-have for such thing, but I don't think it will be a great problem.
