EASTERN-EXPRESS
Review of Eastern-Express 1/72
Eastern-Express produces with their new released T-34/76 kits (72014 and higher) some good quality injection
molded kits, which have good detail and are easy to assemble. The old kits 72009 and 72010 (collaborating with AER)
have important mistakes, the USA M-113 kit is VERY bad and not
worth buying. The quality of their airplane with the V-1 is very basic.
(Manufactured in Moscow, Russia)
kit 72009 - T-34/85 - (AER-EE kit)
kit 72010 - SU-100 - (AER-EE kit)
kit 72011 - BM13 Katiusha - (AER-EE kit)
kit 72014 - SU-85
Referring to the T34/85 and SU-100 (release from the manufacturers AER & EE), both kits heaves wrong wheels and wrong wheelspacing, and the barrels are too haevy. The SU-85 have the correct wheels. The T-34/85, SU-100 and the BM13 Katiusha are the same kits as by AER.

All this kits are now from a good quality and have the right wheels

kit 72263 - Spitfire MKIX with German V-1
I have seen the M113, I can only see "Take a look", don't be frightened, but don't buy this kit. The kit is very basic and bad detailled.
The Spitfire with German V-1 are basic, but interesting.
kit 72059 - Gaz 67B Russian Jeep- - (Model posted by Roman Skiba)
The Gaz-67B is the same kit as the Gaz-67B from Colibri, Fort Ltd and Ace-Models, a very nice kit!
Who can help me with 1:1 scans from the next boxes 72010 and 72011 (the correct AER/EE box), 72055, 72057 and 72202
