Valiant 1/72 British 6 pounder anti-tank gun and crew

This box contains two guns and eight crew in total; four per gun piece.

This kit was bought in August 2024 to be displayed as part of my WW2 French countryside ambush display.

Two identical sprues are included, each with the gun and crew:

The kit is quite simple - only around 8 parts for the gun, and all except one figure is a single casting (one, supposed to be firing the gun, has arms which can be glued in place). As a result I haven't bothered doing a normal assembly series of photos, just a few of the parts cut out and assembled:

Since there are two identical sprues includes, there are doubles of each figure:

• 2x Accessing ammunition box
• 2x Handling a shell
• 2x Spotting, with binoculars in hand
• 2x Firing (separate arms)

In the images below I've put a 1:72 Late War British Infantry figure. The anti-tank gun crew are slightly bigger, but it's not too dissimilar to be an issue - especially since they are not going to be placed directly next to each other.
