Does anyone have any experience with this brand? How does this compare to WSI and NZG?
Thanks

I know some have been disappointed with the amount of plastic for the price on models.

Rocky 100370, The question on IMC models quality was already debated in this topic in: http://forums.dhsdiecast.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=136655My personal views posted on the subject above on the Sarens DAF 6x6 tow truck, their first 100% new model: "[...] I received yesterday the Sarens DAF NTT 3300 model produced by IMC: what a disappointment!
Very light model with lots of resin parts, even tyres are not rubber-made: it could have been done by GMTS or Dan Models.
We had earlier Tekno military tank transporters DAF/Broshuis sets made of resin as well, does it means that the Dutch modeling trade will more and more move away from metal?
On the positive side, lots of details. [...]Some other IMC products are based upon Lion Toys, Tekno, Tonkin or WSI base models and do not suffer a such high resin content. I bought a few of these since and I am very happy with their level of detail... and their metal content! I hope it helps. Guy

I bought the Mammoet SPMT set. I'm impressed with the paint and graphics, it's also very heavy/solid. The wheels though have no up and down movement which was a major disappointment. If I had a choice I would have bought a red NZG SPMT set but they've been long sold out.

Have heard use of resin case pieces rather than a more typical plastic.
