The gun's 14 parts are cast in a light amber colored resin. There are also 11 rounds of 75-mm ammunition and 11 spent cartridges included. Molding quality is very good with fine and delicate detail. As seen in the scan, the parts are cast onto large pour-plugs though the parts do not look difficult to remove with a sharp razor. Three short rods have to be produced from plastic. |

| General Impression & Note |
I commend Attack from producing a fine model of a rare artillery gun. The kit shares many parts from Attack Kit #72302. This weapon was an infantry gun to replace the German 7.5-cm IG 18, with a new gun mounted on the carriage and shield of the old 3.7-cm Pak 36 and captured Soviet 45-mm AT guns. Introduced in 1944, it would be painted panzer-yellow, and likely typical German camoufalge patterns. The ammunition was the same as that used by the IG 18.
