Thanks!

Thanks for posting it up Jeremy.

Great review Gino, what is the wood like on the boxes?

Thanks Martyn. The detail on the woodgrain is very good. It is hard to see in the below pic, but it is finely engraved detail.

Your more than Welcome Gino, Hopefully it does the review justice. I am still learning the editing/posting review process....

Nice review. Is the 122mm ammo for the A-19 gun or for the howitzer? I couldn't tell from the review. Thanks

You got me. It doesn't say anything about what gun they are used for on the box and I don't know the difference either. My guess is that the ammo can be used by either, but thats just a guess based on Soviet practices of making ammo common for many different systems.

Hey Gino,
I picked up the 57mm and 76mm set the other day and was pleased with it for the most part.
The odd thing was the set only provided one type of 57mm round while MiniArt's 57mm anti-tank gun kit provides three types.
Thanks for the review.
Cheers

Hi Gino

Thanks for that review; very useful.

Question; is the 152mm ammunition suitable for a resupply of an ISU-152 self propelled gun, do you know? I'm building Tamiya's new kit.

Also...i don't know if I read the infantry ammo box review section right so if I've misunderstood I apologise in advance but...the metal containers are for DP light machine gun pan magazines and the wooden boxes for loose 7.62x54mmR ball ammo. The inserts aren't provided for the crates which is a shame. The metal containers aren't intended for the wooden crates. See my review of the kit here http://www.track-link.net/reviews/k2000 which as some useful reference pictures.

Just like the 122mm Ammo, I am not positive, but I believe it would work for any 152. There are no indications on the box which gun its for, but the Soviets did try to standardize ammo for many systems.




Thanks Martyn, I missed that. I assumed they went in the wooden boxes like the other sets.

Hi Gino

I think thats the beauty of these sites we can share info...I made the mistake of saying the DP boxes should be pressed on both sides even publishing photo's to that effect then saw them on Discovery Channel exactly as per MiniArts kit
