2006 Easy Model Catalogue, 1/72

Check out the 2006 1/72 armor from Easy Models at www.diecast72.com. They look really nice. Does anyone have any of the existing Easy Model armor? My question is: How do they stack up against Dragon? Can anyone on the forum give us a side by side with Dragon?

I think the catalogue is not very accurate, HLJ from Japan has some other models in their list ready for preorder,
for example 3 versions of the British Challenger II (one with dozer), a German 12.8cm L/61 Sturer Emil,
but indeed 9 shermans are also available for preorder.

You have to remember that these models are fully plastic (super lightweights), painting is very basic compared to FOV or Dragon.
I have a Pershing, Egyptian JS-III, M113 and the British AS-90.
But I love them because they are unique types that haven't been done by other brands yet.

I believe that their completed models are in fact the same as the Trumpeter military 1/72 kits.
So there must be lot of people building and painting those in a big factory/building somewhere in Asia.
