German 75mm Anti-Tank Gun

I think I have built this kit over time about three times and have one of the guns mounted on a self propelled Anti-tank vehicle shown on here. This time I decided to have a model with the trailing arms out and a crew manning it in the dead of Winter. I took about 5 hours to complete the kit with care given to the tiny yet highly detailed parts. There are many of these that make the kit well worth having and caution should be taken to ensure that the detailing remains at its greatest extent. I waited until the kit was fully assembled until I painted it using all acrylics. I would highly recommend that an experienced modeler take on this model due to the complex parts.

I had three Hanomags and only two 75mm guns so had to get a third to even things out. It went together with no problems. Even the little pieces didn't give me the usual problems. Only thing was the figures had a lot of seam work that needed to be done. Did I do it, no way. A quick build. If it wasn't having to wait for the glue to set would have finished in a couple of hours instead of three. Would say this kit is good for any age builder, ok maybe not two or three but ten and up should be able to handle it.

This is a really good kit considering it's age. You can't beat the price either I'm an old guy, and it's been in the Tamiya catalog since I was a kid, so I bought it as a fun build that I've always wanted to do. There quite a few small parts and the fit can be a little fiddly, so it might be a bit tough for beginners. I think everyone else will have no problem. It's a fantastic bargain
