THE WORD FROM THE TOP OF ICM! Interview with Valeriia Buzina, Managing Director of ICM Holdings 

It's amazing that this company is still thriving under such circumstances. Well done ICM.

First kit I bought after getting back in to the hobby was an ICM. Amazed at how the quality of kits had improved since the 1970s! Keep up the good work.

What a great video thank you Valeriia Buzina for doing the interview and letting us know what's going on. #Marauder

Thanks to ICM and Gary for doing this. Im a big big fan of ICM. I quite like the look of their #Marauder

It is great to see a face behind the company. Use their paints and like them a lot. #Marauder

I was lucky enough to be able to watch the actual live stream and what a down to earth person Valeriia is. You can tell that she is passionate about the business as a whole and what an amazing company ICM are, to be able to still maintain a quality business during such a terrible conflict. Top marks to Valeriia and the whole ICM team. #marauder

Thank you Valeriia. This hobby definitely needs more women's point of view and input #humvee

Its amazing ICM are able to keep producing so many great kits, especially given the current circumstances. #Humvee

#marauder - What a fantastic interview Gary. Valeriia is a special person with such a warm personality. And, of course, the same applies to you Gary. Keep up the good work and we look forward to hearing more from ICM in the near future. All the best from Australia. Tim Brimelow

Great video. Good to see icm are producing new & stunning kits in very trying times. # marauder

Well we all have to respect the ICM that under these circumstances they are increasing their quality their great range of kits #marauder

The volume of releases and the detail incorporated into each release is amazing given the environment in which they are living and working. #marauder

Very nice from Valeriia,, great video once again Gary , ICM are knocking it put of the park #marauder

As I said in the live video, a great interview with Valeriia who shows us all that with passion, enthusiasm, a great team anything is possible even in the most difficult of circumstances. Great company with great products and I do think a great future, I for one can’t wait to see what’s coming next 😁👍#Marauder

Nice to see model manufacturers giving info about future kits. It’s the #Marauder for me.

Great interview, ICM have progressed so much over the years with their kits. How fantastic for a company to continue under such a dire situation in their country, Ukraine. Valeriia is so laid back and an absolute joy to listen.#marauder

What a fantastic interview, Incredible ICM are continuing to produce new kits with the war on and looking forward to new announcements from ICM #marauder

So amazing that they keep producing in the circumstances #marauder

Enjoy the releases and kit builds from ICM. Keep up the good work 👍 #Marauder

What a wonderful interview Gary! 👏 👏 Valeriia talks so openly and candidly about the company, it's so refreshing to hear! So different from the subterfuge and masked comments from many other manufacturers! I especially love how they want to interact and listen to modellers. And all this while under the dark cloud of war! Its quite remarkable and unbelievable in equal measures! Valeriia answers everything with alot of thought and consideration and seems warm and engaging. Really enjoyed the interview Gary, fantastic work mate 👏 👍 Oh and don't forget the giveaway! How fantastic of Valeriia to give not one but two kits away! How amazing of her! 😁 #marauder

Fantastic interview and as another commented, it just goes to show what a little enthusiasm and passion can do, along with a great team, anything is possible. ICM are going from strength to strength, and my wishlist is growing ever larger! Can't wait for the Henschal 129 next year! A lovely thought too with the giveaway Gary! How wonderful of her! #humvee

Seen a few interviews with Valeriia, also plenty of ICM kit reviews. not got one for myself yet. They come across as a very customer -orientated company, with an eye for quality and a wonderful ethos. Many thanks for this video, Gary. #marauder

Two of my latest projects were ICM tooling. The fit was wonderful and both the build and subjects were very satisfying 💥👍💥 Keep up the good work ICM!

Thanks again. 😊 What ICM do, and how they do it would be remarkable under normal circumstances, but under the circumstances they have it's astonishing. Oh. #marauder 😊

ICM are impressive - to produce the volume and quality of new kits that ICM do would be be a credit to any manufacturer - never mind one from a country defending itself in a horrendous war. #marauder

Really loving the variety of kits they have coming. #marauder

#marauder What a great interview with such an upbeat and cheerful Valeriia despite the tragedy that's going on in Ukraine To be able to keep their business and their high standards is remarkable. Best of luck to ICM for their future.

Very interesting, an extremely proactive & productive company in horrendous circumstances. #humvee

ICM has become my favorite kit manufacturer by far. With their kit choices and fine molding, a force to be reckoned with! # marauder

#marauder - Valeriia and ICM are going from strength to strength and I think they are going to be the Company that all others will be trying to match. Go ICM 👍

I was lucky enough to be able to tune into some of the Livestream of this. What a fantastic company operating at such a high level in an unbelievable situation. Well done to all #marauder

#marauda Love ICM kits and it is amazing that they are still productive under such conditions.

Bought plenty of ICM 1/32 kits . Also got the quarter-scale #marauder .Its a brilliant kit

Very interesting video . How they continue to operate under the conditions that they are enduring amazes me . #humvee

Really interesting video - I only have older ICM kits and some figures - but I really should try more!

#Humvee. What a strong and inspirational lady. Very positive, driven but philosophical about the 'here and now' war situation in their life. It's good that she was determined in wanting to keep a more unique kit product line rather than follow others with their versions of the same. Really glad the sirens didn't go off. Thanks Gary.

A #marauder kit would be a great way to start my friendship with ICM 😊

ICM has certainly come a long way recently. Very interesting interview, Thanks to both Gary and Valeriina! Love that new #marauder

Great looking kit from you guys at ICM. Good to hear uour paint range and varnishes are coming to the UK. This would make a great diorama with the mine sweeping figures. God bless all in the Ukraine x #Humvee

Finally got to watch this interview, very interesting and lovely to hear the positive attitude of ICM. #humvee

Great video Gary. ICM are consistently high quality kits on a surprisingly regular schedule; amazing when you consider how difficult things must be in their country. #marauder

So good of Valeriia to chat to you and be so open and honest about ICM. What a fantastic company especially under such tough circumstances. #marauder

Great video Gary! Thank you for doing that, didn't realise it's a family run business which warms the heart. I've been a fan of since I got one of their He 111 kits in 1/48. So obviously I'm going to say #marauder

Thanks for the content, always interesting and entertaining - ICM models are very well made and have very interesting subject matter - #Marauder

Thanks to Valeriia for taking the time for an interview, and thanks Gary for more great content. I'm currently enjoying an ICM Model T fire engine. #humvee

Great kits, for a company under much pressure! 💛💙 #Marauder

I love their twin engine bombers. It's nice to see some of those ancient kits [from other manufactures] get replaced, and new subjects get released [as injection kits for the first time] with modern tolloings by ICM. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on a #marauder, and seeing what they hav ein store for 2025.

#Marauder I like that ICM produce unusual models as well as great kits of the more usual subjects and variants.

Excellent kits produced in tough times. #marauder

Great interview - would be good to see an ICM stand at Telford #marauder

#marauder I'm just astonished that ICM can produce kits of such quality and launch new kits at such high rate under the current circumstances. Thank you Gary and Valeriia for a great interview!

ICM’s innovation of including the CAD renderings and animations as online instructions for their recent kits is brilliant. I hope more manufacturers pick up on this idea. #humvee

#marauder Good interview Gary, i am really looking forward to the Hampden as well.

Thank you Gary and ICM for a very interesting interview #marauder

#marauder Thanks to Gary and Valeriia for an interesting video!

very interesting interview. definitely gonna have to try some icm kits soon. maybe will have to pick some up for my birthday. #marauder

Super good interview, Valeriia is a great ambassador for ICM. Hope ICM and Ukraine will be around a lot longer.

We absolutely love the ICM model kits . Such a wide range of subjects , never know what to build next ! #marauder

ICM are an incredible company..How they create under wartime conditions is amazing..I wish ICM and other Ukrainian manufactures all the very best..#Marauder

#humvee - Thank you Valeriia and thank you Gary!

I do like your kits, made the Beaufort twice, looking forward to the future withICM.#Marauder

Thanks to Gary and ICM #marauder

#Marauder. Well done ICM. Great job under exceptional circumstances.

Thanks Gary and thank you ICM, great company :) #marauder

#Marauder ICM is a great company. I really enjoyed building B-26K last year.

#humvee great interview. ICM are doing an awesome job under the circumstances the people of Ukraine are facing.

Great interview, it’s amazing how they don’t just keep going but keep improving! #Marauder

Love the fact that the #marauder comes with the figures too, that's great marketing from ICM.

In the middle of the Marauder right now. ICM is truly a Tier 1 company now. Absolutely ecstatic about the Hampton. Amazing leadership and able to thrive under most difficult circumstances.

ICM has really turned into a top-notch company and I'm always interested in what they're bringing out next #marauder

Really interesting interview, thank you both. I have an ever increasing number of ICM Kits and paint in my modelling stash, really like them. I'd go for the very nice new #marauder 😀

Great interview and an amazing company! #marauder

ICM & Border are both new favourites. Love 1/35 scale aircraft. Well done both companies. #Marauder

As I commented before - what an interesting and inspiring lady. I recently bought the #Marauder and I must say it is an impressive kit. Nice interview.

Ah, Valeriia, as lovely today as when I first saw her.....yesterday on the live stream! 😊. Seriously, thanks both. #Marauder

#humvee Thanks Valeriia for your time and letting Gary interview you. Very interesting

Nice interview of a company that is heading in the right direction despite having to face exceptional circumstances. #Marauder

How have I missed the news that ICM are doing a Hampden! That's great news. ICM make great kits so more power to them and hopefully the invaders will be repelled as soon as possible. #humvee

great interview, I really enjoyed hearing from Valeriia. I would love them to have a go at more early war, or even Spanish Civil War bombers in 1/48. Baltimore, Maryland, HE-111A-E1, B-17A-D, and so on. #Marauder

It was good to hear that the icm paint will be available in the UK soon I will have to try them. #humvee

#marauder I’m growing my love for ICM models, building the artic cobra at the moment and it’s coming along nicely 😊

Well done ICM 👍 Keep up the good work Such a positive interview.

Great video, thanks to V and to all the team at Icm!

Awesome interview, ICM have a great model range and growing #marauder

Very informative and interesting video. What an amazing company operating under such extreme circumstances. #Marauder

Hi Gary, this is the first time making a comment to you, great stuff! Thank you for the interview and thank you ICM for your kits! I was thinking of them expanding into model railroading kits, such as making simple buildings in various scales. #Marauder

#humvee Valeriia such a nice person a credit to her dad and the company.

#marauder Thank you for doing the livestream, it was very interesting. I like that they are not planning on going down the aftermarket route so that it gives the modeller the option to go OOB, or really go 'Beast Mode' on a kit with high quality aftermarket products.

Truly the best interview with Valeriia, super manager of ICM. #marauder

#Marauder Great company. Great products. I can't wait to try one.

A really interesting interview and to be fair ICM is a company in which I love and amazed at their programming for releases. Go buy a ICM kit, they will have something just a little different. #marauder

Great Company looking forward to see next years range #marauder

Fantastic interview. Thank you so much. The Hampden has been a dream come true for me. Cannot wait. I've been in a buzz about it ever since Valeriia mentioned it earlier this year. #marauder

Insightful interview, really on board with this company and their kits 👍 #maurauder

The thing I like most about ICM is their WW I range. I have been building their Model T armored car and it's a little delight. #humvee

What an amazing Managing Director of an amazing company in the middle of a war. Excellent interview, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Valeriia and Gary very much. #marauder

I just received their OV-10A in 1/48, this is an amazing kit! I would very much enjoy building their #marauder for my son!

I saw the live, many thanks to you both, again! #humvee

#humvee - Gary, great interview with Valeriia, amazing what they are doing under the circumstances and like her responses and attitude to your questions. They seem to active in trying to enthuse the next generation of modellers.
