We recently had the opportunity to look over some examples from
the Easy Model line of products distributed by MRC and seen on
quite a few hobby store shelves. In this example, we have an early
Sherman from the 2nd Armored Division.
The tank comes mounted to a clear tray and held securely with
two philips head screws. Extracting the model from the tray took
just a few seconds.
What comes in the box is the Sherman and a placard identifying
the product. It was clear from the packaging that this model was
not going to get damaged in shipment unless the box itself was
crushed. Nice job!
It amazes me just how nice many of these pre-fabricated display
models look in terms of detail and finish, especially for the price!
This kit features a nice two-color camouflage scheme that is well-weathered.
The detailing is quite nice from the rusty track to the 30 caliber
machine gun on the top of the turret. The eye appeal of this
finish is nicely executed.
This tank would not only look good on the shelf of an armor
enthusiast, but it would also be an excellent addition to the wargamer's
World War II tank company.
My sincere thanks to MRC for
this review sample!
