Icom container kits & Di Gi character containers

[cteno4]

it seems to be raining containers this year!

 

ICOM (prohobby) is releasing 4 new set of liquid/gas containers (they had three out). these are great sets of 4 unpainted containers per box. the containers are assembled, but not glued so you can paint the tanks and frames separately. the decal sets on type 1-3 were all the same, but on the 4 new sets, type 4-7 they appear to have different decal sheets for each.

In addition they are releasing a whole set of their liquid/gas containers, type 1-7 with Di Gi character decals you can put on them! looks like the regular kits with just a decal set thrown in. there are two different sets of decals for each of the 7 types so a lot of purchase options here. the way their packaging is they can easily mix and match this as all their container sets are packed in the same external packaging and just have a stick on label that identifies the type and now decal...

all at hs as well, just got tired of pasting links (search pro hobby)

 

interesting little addition to the railway daughters container sets from tomytec, may have to pick one up to mix in with the little rr daughters train im making. not really into these graphics, but they do make up something pretty unique and fun when put on a train.

 

cheers

Icom is releasing etched metal detail parts for their container kits at the end of august. looks like enough parts for 4-6 containers of a 3-4 of their different container types. not bad at $12 for specialty upgrade like this.
