It took a few days longer than intended, but it still is my first completed build of 2024. A very nice little kit, and a subject that made me want to learn about it. IBG’s Model 1897 75mm Field Gun, Modified 1938.
and for a sense of the size of this gun
Thanks for looking… comments & critiques are welcome.

Most definitely well done!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Finished French 75

Re: Finished French 75
Thanks guys! A little artillery piece like this is a perfect quick project build. Now for a proper gun crew!

Re: Finished French 75
This is French right? Don't Miniart do a retreating French army of WWII set complete with white flags and dropped weapons? It goes with their Italian WWII army figures with the reversable uniforms.

Re: Finished French 75
Oh you're bad Stuart! The only French figures that Miniart makes, aside from civilians, is a tank crew set. Tamiya and Dragon make some infantry figures, but no artillery crew.
