It is great to see this addition to Dragon's 1/6 military models. Though they are really designed to be used in concert with their action figures, these kits make superb models in their own right. I've a fondness for this particular gun, despite its generally dismal operational history. Many years back, I paid nearly the retail price of this one for a 1/35 resin kit that was a true test of my abilities! Guaranteed, that this one will not fall into that category.
There are 140 parts on four sprues along with two rubber/vinyl tires and two wheels. Thanks to the size of the parts, I've shown a scan of the sprue layout, but you can be assured that the molding and detailing on the various parts is first-class, thanks to the extensive use of slide mold technology. As with the other items in their 1/6 inventory, this one is designed to be fully articulate along all the various axes. The gun is even able to be positioned in full recoil of that is what one desires. The lower armored shield can be displayed lowered or raised. One can also display the gun in the full firing position or in the travel position, ready to be hooked up to a jeep or truck. The kit even comes with a shell, ready to be shoved into the breech.
Instructions are the photo-realistic version that Dragon likes to use on these kits. Gunze and Model Master paint references are the norm.
