ICM 1/35 German fire engine

Has anyone had the opportunity to try their hand at this plastic kit? Be prepared for some fiddly work, as well as stuff that just won't fit. I waited a long time for someone to produce a kit of this genre - I had to scratchbuild a fire engine when I wanted one. ICM apparently got the Feuerschutzpolizei (FschP) blueprints for this particular rig and just down-scaled everything. The chassis is incredibly detailed with some minute, just-asking-to-be-broken/lost parts which won't be seen unless you pose the model on a mirror. It seems as if the toolers of the molds never took the time to see if the model would actually go together as planned. For instance, assembling the engine: part A73 doesn't even make it close to being able to be cemented in place; make damn sure you glue parts A65 correctly; don't glue part A116 or the dash won't fit - if you glue parts B6 and B5, the dash won't fit anyhow...you have to shave a couple mm off the ends. Fortunately, I purchased two kits, cuz I knew the first one would be a learning experience. I'm glad ICM took the plunge and developed this kit, but I think it's more fiddly than it needs to be, and the parts just don't fit well at times. I understand MiniArt is coming out with their own version of the venerable LLG...just hoping it's a bit better than ICM's. BTW, if you want to replicate the German "polizeigruen", I found Humbrol's British Racing Green to be a very good match.
