1:35 Insignia, Patches and Vehicles Camouflage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ref: 35748

Available here

ICM is a brand that offers a highly diverse and original catalogue of modelling products. An example is this set: decals for emblems of all the Ukrainian armed forces. 

This is a particularly unique set, as it enables figures to be decorated with the colors and identifying emblems of various military units of the Ukrainian army.

 

What’s in the bag 

Inside the envelope ( as this set is supplied in a cardbox type white envelope, we'll have:

• 3 sheets of decals
• 1 sheet with a numbered and explained list containing all sleeve insignias for the Ukrainian armed forces.

Additionally, decals are provided for:

• Shoulder boards for various ranks
• Patches with the Ukrainian flag (several options available)
• Tactical identification tapes with the Ukrainian flag and blood type.

For sleeve insignias, there are: 

•            Military branches
•            Mechanized brigades
•            Motorized infantry brigades
•            Mountain assault brigades
•            Tank brigades
•            Artillery brigades
•            Airborne assault troops
•            Marine corps
•            Individual divisions

The decals are organized on the sheet by these topics, with four decals for each insignia. Shoulder straps are provided in pairs. For the various options of the Ukrainian flag, there are eight of each. Other patches are available in pairs, while some are supplied as single copies. 

The decals are finely printed, with appropriate and clearly defined colors.

Also supplied is a a4 sheet with description of what brigade / battalion belongs to. In this sheet there's a number matching the patch in the decal sheet.

Vehicle Camouflage decal sheets 

These two sheets originate from set 35014 (review here), allowing modellers to complement the base painting of a vehicle operating in the theater of operations.

Bonus item: 

Ukrainian armed forces patch.

 

Conclusion 

As mentioned previously, this is a highly original set, focused on the current conflict in Ukraine. The offering allows for the detailing and enhancement of figure painting with real visual elements, significantly elevating the quality in a simple way. It’s worth noting that applying the decals with sleeve emblems may require adjustments and the use of specific products for this purpose (e.g., Micro Set and Micro Sol).

Similarly, the digital camouflage decal sheets (featuring geometric shapes of various colours and patterns) can simplify the modelling of vehicles using this type of camouflage in their paintwork. The bonus fabric emblem patch adds a finishing touch to this offering.

This set is highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to ICM for the review sample!
