This model was originally released in 1974, but must have been ahead of its kind! This model almost flawless. The model is about 253 pieces, which build out to the tractor, limber and field gun. There is a figure, that might be the one thing that could be upgraded, even though it is a very nice figure. Since it is seated, it doesn’t betray the Tamiya figures of that age which were usually chunky and scaled out at an average height of 5’4” The neat thing is this model can be configured to be firing mode (without crew) or with the one or both tow-alongs attached to the tractor or parked in laager. Everything perfectly cast with lots of fine details. The two really neat aspects are 1) the cab, lower body and undercarriage frame can be separated so that people can see the interior details; and 2) all of the extra goodies (packs, netting, pioneer tools, etc) can be placed anywhere on the vehicle, limber or gun. This is an outstanding kit and was a pure joy to build.
