I'm looking for a bit of info.

ICM and ARK models would be one in the same correct? I own a few kits from each label and they look identical, so I am assuming ICM and ARK are the same.

Ark is mostly reboxes. They may be affiliated but not the same company. The ICM pieces they box are older ones like the T-28 where the molds were supposedly sold off after a bankruptcy?

Be warned that Ark also has Alan, VM, Maquette, Eastern Express, Toko and Novo/Frog kits in their boxes too and the Alan are missing the photo etch.

I was assuming they were a re-box of ICM, because my Yaks are one in the same. Good to know they have re-boxed others as well. Thanks.
