Word to the wise is that some of the Eastern European companies rebox one another's kits. Something akin to how old Aurora kits became the property of Monogram and then Revell now owns them.

My first Zvezda kit was a Cold War purchase of a really crappy T-60 light tank. Many of Zvezda's armor kits were sold under Italeri's brand name. Some old DML and even Peerless Max kits have been sold under the Zvezda name like the Soviet BMP and BTR-70 and White Scout Car.

Today, you need to visit scalemates.com to figure out the lineage of specific kits.

Where are ICM and Vzesda from?

 

ICM is headquartered in Kiev, Ukraine. There is no such company 'Vzesda'. If you mean Zvezda (звезда 'Star') , they are in Lobnya, Russia, which is near Moscow.
