ICM 35018 Danger! Mines! Ukraine, summer 2022 1/35

ICM 35018 Danger! Mines! Ukraine, summer 2022 1/35 is a unique plastic model kit in 1/35 scale representing a modern sapper unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during operations in the summer of 2022. The set depicts an important, historical aspect of the clashes fought during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, especially in the heavily mined regions of the south and northeast of the country. The model allows you to recreate a typical battlefield scene: the set contains three realistically rendered Ukrainian sappers with equipment, a figure of a specially trained mine-detection dog, a military ZIL-131 vehicle with driver, and minefield elements including TM-62 anti-tank mines.

The model is inspired by authentic events from the most recent period in history—the Russo-Ukrainian war that began in 2022 (modern times). AFU sappers (Armed Forces of Ukraine) play a fundamental role in engineering operations: they are responsible for reconnaissance, laying, and clearing mines in areas directly in the conflict zone as well as on the second line of defense. The set includes finely crafted elements of uniforms, equipment, and weapons such as protective vests, bags, shovels, mine detectors, or realistic rifles, as well as a characteristic pixel camouflage decal for the ZIL-131.
