JK Resin

German WWII
7.5cm KwK ammo boxes

This is a relatively simple set, containing 8 storage tubes and 8 wooden boxes (all in resin) for 7.5cm shells. The leaflet just says "KwK", but I am sure the KwK 40 is meant as the KwK 34 and KwK 42 would have shorter and longer rounds, respectively. (Obviously it helps when some of the decals read "Patr. 7.5cm KwK40" or "Patr. 7.5cm StuK40".)

Dimensions of the tubes were 85 x 11,5 cm, while the boxes were 92 x 39 x 15 cm. This would mean that the resin tubes are within tolerance in length, but 10% too thick, while the boxes are around 15% too big, if my references and measurements are correct. (Note that a more open variant of the wooden boxes existed.)
All boxes and tubes are closed, which I consider to be a missed opportunity, knowing what JK Resin is capable of. On the other hand, casting quality is unsurpassed in detail and fineness.

To complete the set, a decal sheet is provided with tiny (though readable) stencils. This is the first time I see stencils for ammo crates, and it puts this set in a league of its own.
