ICM 1/35 Leopard 2A6 Unboxing and Build Review - an unexpected Revell-ation!

[@MannsModelMoments]

Are you a fan of modern armour? Enjoy dioramas? Would you build this kit with it's figures, or would you prefer to focus on the armour? Alternatively, will you be picking up the figures on their own? Also, what do you think of this cooperation? As always, let me know in the comments below!

May I say that I also like this build and review format as it told us much more of the characteristics of the kit. I liked the look of the kit despite the warpage and the figures were superb, many thanks for the review.

[@MannsModelMoments]

Thanks!

From the US, been a big fan of ICM since the they first came to the US. This type of boxing, as you know, is typical for them, where they would combine to kits or more from their catalog to form these diorama's in a box. They are a great buy, and thank you for the review, when I saw this was being released I was interested in it right away. You gave me a lot to think about.

[@MannsModelMoments]

Good!

Much prefer it when you build and review the parts. Nothing too untoward with this model but it does give something extra that other reviews aren't doing. I think you may find that changes once others see what you've done. In my view, this is a proper review and not just the lazy quick peep that other channels so often do. Well done and thanks.

This was a very nice video. The lighting was good, it was very informative and your voice is very calming to listen to!

[@MannsModelMoments]

Thanks, glad you found it useful!

I'm predominantly an armour and figure modeller so this combination was bang on the money for me! More of the same please 😊

[@the-primered-thumb]

Gotta say revell have upped there track game, they look smart 😉

[@MannsModelMoments]

Yeah, it was a pleasant surprise!

[@MikeUSA67]

Love this (new) review AND build format! Well done, Alex! Which do you like better - the bathtub style lower hull, or the multi-part assembly?

I'm antifan of rubber tracks. Especially since 2 of them have disintegrated after 6 years on shelf while moving model (typical cleaning model with Tamiya soft brush), both, in Tamiya's Leo 1A4 and Heller's AMX-30/105 they just fell apart when I placed model back in it's spot. I'm just waiting for Tamiya Leclerc's tracks to fall apart too as it's from the same period. Since then I no longer use rubb(ish)er tracks, always seek for plastic/resin workable ones before building a kit. My Chally 1 will have to wait a bit in the locker :D

[@MannsModelMoments]

Good point - yinyl tracks do have a definite "shelf life"

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool.

Unfortunately, the warm weather had me dozing off, and thus, I missed the live stream. I'm most disappointed in myself. 😢❤😢

Hi where did you get your small clamps from been looking for them and not been able to source them. Got the large ones you used, many thanks if you can advise.

[@MannsModelMoments]

They're Berna clamps - I sell them in the shop :-)

Making a product based on a recent armed conflict and profiting from it is crazy.

[@MannsModelMoments]

It's a Ukrainian company producing a set about it's own armed forces - why is that crazy?

@@artemefimov8215 Это не конфликт ,а война развязная Россией! И для многих в Украине и мире очень важно иметь возможность делать вооружение именно военных сил Украины ВСУ! Многое делает везда например авиацию и я принципиально не хочу покупать её наборы . Так что думаю это правильное и главное уместное решение выпускать подобные наборы как этот. Это лишь мое мнения как Украинца!
