Hi Everyone.
I just retrieved this model out of my stash and started building it. I have my doubts that this is the correct model in the box as the barrel of the gun is nothing like the picture on the box. Instead of a long, slender barrel as with 99% of Anti-Tank guns it looks more like a howitzer! Any ideas?

It may be the 76mm infantry howitzer kit. Perhaps yours was mispackaged. The howitzer was usually sold with a crew and a horse drawn team, but dimensionally, it was pretty much the same size as the 45 mm gun. Both kits were originally ICM products--Alanger acquired most of their molds after ICM went through bankruptcy and reorganization (it is now back in business as ICM Holding).

I agree, it sounds like the infantry gun....Model point made replacement barrels for the 45 AT gun, both short and long versions....you might be able to simply change the barrel out....
