MiniArt has announced a new offering in the works, which if memory serves me correctly is a combination of three items made available before. This offering provides a 76mm field gun, limber, crew and ammunition.

I don't think there has ever been a F-22USV or F-22USV-BR in styrene before, let alone by MiniArt.

I thought it was the same gun as supplied in the Soviet Divisional Artillery offering, but if wrong I am happy to accept that.

That was the ZiS-3:


Note different shield, trails, tube, muzzle, recoil housing, and cradle.

The limber shown was a universal type that could be drawn by horses or tractors.

bill_c , this kit is not new...these models have been around in Miniart's inventory.

The crew, ammo, and limber are existing kits, but the USV-BR gun is most certainly a new mold. If you think otherwise, please show us one of the previous kits.
