This is my first box of Plastic Soldier Company models so I thought I would share my thoughts in a review. I also took pictures of the sprue, a picture of all the parts needed to build a complete tank and a picture of an assembled tank next to a assembled and painted one.
Overall a really awesome product, the drawback is the long cleaning and assembly time which might be off putting for some people.

I've just been putting together some PSC 15mm T-34s that I bought on spec for a Korean War Scenario. They are very nice and a third the price of a resin version. Found the clean up to be fairly painless. I'd say about 15-20 mins tops and that was for the first one. I used superglue.

I don't play any WW2 games, and I'm not a 15mm or 20mm player either, but the PSC stuff really impresses me.
Guess I never kicked the "treadhead" obsession from back when I still played 40k.
Hopefully they will continue going strong and expand their range.
I should look into games that can be played with these but at worst I'd like to get a few just to have on the shelf.

My experience with PSC is building their Shermans and I actually find prep and assembly time to be much quicker than resin/metal alternatives. Very little clean up was required and it was simply done, metal/resin models seem to require a lot of trimming/filing to get a decent fit. Although they have many more parts assembly was simple as they fit together so much better. I would recommend the use of liquid poly cement rather than superglue though (if you can put up with the fumes)
Excellent review as always.
