Hello,

As far as I can tell from the info available so far this kit is a repack of the ICM kit (kit no. S.009). One thing I can't understand is why is it priced so high. Here in Poland it will retail at almost twice as much as the original ICM kit.

PS

In case anyone wonders why I think this is a repack of the ICM kit:

- same amount of parts in both kits
- only two types of conning towers available in both kits
- again, two marking options in both kits (I hope revell will at least offer markings for different boats than ICM, but this could be a problem considering the ICM kit had a conning tower specifically molded to match one specific boat)
- exactly the same dimmentions on both kits. If these were mastered indipendantly, there would be at least slight deviations in the dimmentions, even if only by a milimenter or so.
