Manufactured in the Czech Republic, this kit contains seven pieces of light gray resin, and an instruction sheet. All parts are nicely cast, and have a pour gate attached. The parts are contained within a small zip lock type bag.

The parts list shows a base, two sides, a back, roof, door and seat. The first order of business is removing the pour gates from the parts. A few passes with a razor saw made swift work of removing them. My sample had some flash in the seat opening and heart on the door, and a quick removal was accomplished with a #11 Exacto blade. The parts are nicely cast and no other work was needed to prepare for assembly and paint.

The primary anti-tank gun for British forces during the middle of World War II was the 57 mm Ordnance Quick-Firing 6-pounder, or just 6 pounder. First used in North Africa in the Spring of 1942, it replaced the 2 pounder in the anti-tank role. The United States Army also adopted the 6 pounder as our primary anti-tank gun under the designation 57 mm Gun M1. The 6-pounders were issued to the Royal Artillery anti-tank regiments of infantry and armored divisions in the western theaters, consisting of four batteries with 12 pieces each.

Master Model produces some fine metal components for aircraft kits. The metal pitots are really super, especially after you’ve broken the plastic one provided in the kit. In this case I found the pitot had totally broken off the Buccaneer. I had to replace it with a part from a new kit.

The pitot was a direct replacement.

The instructions give a very good idea of what needs to be done and how to do it. I’m very glad that at one point I bought a set of metric drills, so I have a .5mm drill bit. I used a pin vise. I had to work a bit to get the pin vise to go small enough to hold that small drill.
