In our review of ICM's excellent new-tool ski-equipped Po-2, one prediction was easy to make - a version with wheels wouldn't be far off. Now it's arrived in the form of the night harassment aircraft that drove German troops to distraction on the Eastern Front.

Hi again

ICM have sent us CAD images and sprue-shots of the kit, which goes on sale this month. I've slotted the new shots into the News item.



All the best

Maybe it really is an exciting release after all... Although certainly not one that was clamored for.

I think now that an intricate heavily wired biplane will make for a nice change of pace. The cockpit openings on the Gavia were slightly too large, and its wings certainly lacked a bit of finesse...
