                        Soviet WWII Artillery - 1/35 76mm Regimental Gun: ICM vs Alanger?
                        Posted by bufflehead on Saturday, July 21, 2012 12:24 PM

                        I'm currently building an old Tamiya GAZ67B Field Car for the Ostfront II GB and am thinking of having it tow an artillery piece.  I like the Soviet 76mm Regimental Gun because its small and doesn't visually overwhelm the field car. 

                        The only two kits I can find in 1/35 are ICM and Alanger.  Are they are the same kit?  Based on the artwork on the kit boxes I'm pretty sure they are.  Even if they are, are there any differences with the kit parts or instructions?  Just trying to get a better idea which one to get.

                         

                        Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! 

                        Happy Modeling all!

                        I don't think Alanger ever produced any original kits of their own, only reboxes of other molds, so my gut would be to say they are the same kit.

                        Since the box art is the same, I think it's a safe bet that the models are as well.

                        Thanks guys!!  I appreciate the information which confirms what I guessed.  I'll roll the dice on one of them and hopefully it won't be too bad a kit.  Since its not the focus of the build I'm not overly concerned about accuracy and detail.

                        Good to know Carl! Wasn't aware they were the same company just with a different geography.
