It is a kit from a Ukrainian plastic model maker called ICM. It is a kit of Soviet soldiers during World War II. Figure set of 1 male officer and three female servicewomen. The box picture doesn’t say they are on break, but I think the title was chosen when they sold in Japan. Well, it looks like they are preparing some tea. I thought writing “under scolding” in the title would be better. It is very good at box painting. It might be my first time making an ICM figure.
This time, I started making ICM military figures for the first time, and I thought the mold was dull as an injection figure. The plastic texture is just right for assembling and shaving, and the military uniform and the belt mold are excellent and sharp. This mold is also good because the plastic goes around to the fingertips. I wonder whether ICM is a great plastic model maker. I had made a WWII German twin-engine aircraft once before; I had an impression that it was a reasonably sincere manufacturer.
As for what other figures they are releasing, there are so many unique situations that it’s hard to buy them. It might be for people who make model scenes.
Is the layout like this? It looks like a scene in a war movie.
The mold of the soldier’s face looked good when I lightly assembled it. Especially three female soldiers look pretty. This maker’s female figure may be well shaped with other kits.
Ukraine is in an existential crisis, and I hear famous plastic model manufacturers are here. I have made some Mini Arts and ICMs. I heard that there are other ACE. They seem to release a lot of mini-scaled AFVs. I hope a cease-fire agreement will be reached as soon as possible.

Women soldiers’ underwear, desks and chairs, and record players. I think a string is attached to something that looks like a log, and the underwear is hung up, but it can’t stand up as it is, so I processed the base a little.
I painted an undercoating skin color, a desk and chair, selective drying, and a uniform. There are underwear and accessories, so it isn’t very easy.
This time it happened; I painted white eyes on their faces and drew eyes at the end. After all, I could finish the face at first, or I could paint the face after painting the clothes, but it was better to paint the face all at once at some time. When the work is cut into small pieces, it is easy to lose concentration.
This is how women’s underwear is painted. I didn’t know it at first, but the mold contains clothespins, so it might be better to paint it brown. Patterns are too fine to draw, and there are many.
I hung the laundry on a thin fishing line. This isn’t military modeling.

It was hard because there were a lot of small items, but four figures, including female soldiers, were completed. Oh, is this for a diorama? I like a kit that comes together at the end; this is difficult to decorate. It might be interesting because we can change the arrangement.
The mold is not as good as the Box art, but I think it is good.
This female figure was a little hard to assemble. I think it would have been easy if the cheek and palm were molded together and glued together with the wrist.
The captain is the only male in the group. He has several medals on his chest. The mold of the face looks like middle age and is well made.
I think this female soldier figure has an excellent pose. The fact that the vertical lines of the body are slightly warped with the hand on the waist is also well expressed. It is also good that it has a slightly diagonal upper eye line.
This female soldier has a metal coffee or tea server. She said, shall we have some tea?
Perhaps ICM is the first company to develop plastic model kits for women’s underwear.
At any rate, I hope these precious kits will be resold constantly. If you like military figures, you should try to make them at least once.
