About product

The M1897 75 mm field gun in American service - a 1:35 kit from IBG Models

An injection-molded plastic kit of the 75 mm field gun, one of the most famous artillery systems in history, in the form used by the US Army. The kit is made by the Polish firm IBG Models.

The real subject

At the end of the 19th century the French gun of 1897 meant a revolution in artillery: thanks to a hydropneumatic recoil brake the carriage stayed in place when the gun fired, which allowed a rate of fire never seen before. During the First World War it became a legend known simply as the French 75, and after entering the war the US Army adopted it as its standard field gun under the designation M1897. In American service it lasted through the interwar period as well, and a number of examples still saw action at the start of the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

With artillery models, take care over a clean assembly of the carriage and the wheels - they make up most of the model's silhouette. Align the barrel with the axis of the carriage and sand the joints with fine abrasive paper. Paint over primer; a plain surface is brought to life by light post-shading, washes in the corners of the carriage and dust pigments on the wheels.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of artillery and anyone interested in the First World War.
  • Builders of dioramas - a gun with its crew is an impressive basis for a scene.
  • Collectors of American and French military equipment.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

According to the name the kit does not include figures, so count on the gun alone. A crew can be added from separately available figures in 1:35 scale.

No, the kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Cement for plastic and paints have to be bought separately.

The real gun served from the end of the 19th century through the First World War to the start of the Second World War; the American form is typical above all of the First World War and the interwar period.
