An ammunition set in 1:35 scale, the manufacturer's part number 53070: 75 mm shells and a wooden shipping crate that was called a Lobster in period practice. It is intended for American M3 and M4 medium tanks. This is not a kit of a vehicle but an accessory for filling the fighting compartment, a truck bed or a diorama at a supply point. Check the number of shells and crates in the package on the box.
The American M3 Lee and M4 Sherman medium tanks carried a 75 mm gun and its M48 high-explosive shells. The shipping crate nicknamed Lobster was wooden, in a natural shade with black stenciled lettering, and held three M48 shells, each in its own cardboard tube. It is precisely those tubes that are clearly recognizable in period photographs from ammunition dumps and beside unloaded tanks, and they give a scene a credibility that an empty compartment does not have.
The cases are painted brass, the shell noses olive with colored bands; light wood suits the crate, with a dark wash into the joints and a dry brush on the edges. Leave the cardboard tubes matte and dirtier than the crate. Spread the shells around the compartment irregularly, as a neat row looks like a shop window rather than a combat vehicle.
MiniArt also released a second set of 75 mm M48 and M72 ammunition with wooden crates under the number 53078, so check which of them you want. This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
