Zvezda make a heap of small scale kits including groups of troops and lots of armour and guns. They are super good value and perfect kits for wargamers. I built two of their German 75mm infantry guns in a matter of minutes as they come in minimal parts but do not sacrifice too much detail. It’s a soft grey plastic that glues nicely. There is a base supplied but I abandon those as prefer to do my own thing. Each gun comes with two crew figures, a loader and a gunner. I am sure the minimum crew for one of these would be more like four, so I pinched a couple of other crew men and just some kneeling troopers to bulk up my crew. The build was really easy and painting was just a coat of dark yellow and a brown wash. The crew took me a lot longer in various shades of field grey. I also added a box or two to the base for some added interest. I have a Zvezda Pak-40 sitting on the bench which will have some excellent AB crew painted up next.









Crikey, Will, those have come out really well! 🙂 I’ve got the Zvezda Russian 76.2mm howitzer from the same series of models and it’s a nice model.

Very nice Will ! you have certainly set the bar high for John!!! he did tell me he had some Russian Artillery, so I am looking forward to seeing his take on these brilliant little sets.I’m just I’m the middle of some more myself but I will leave the guns to you and John.

👍🏻The big German mortar was one I purchased by mistake, not one I wanted to do so I have taken a bit more care when pushing the confirm button 😅😅
