Arriving in a heavy cardboard box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam with all the small parts sealed inside a clear plastic bag. The bottom photograph above shows all the parts out of the box and bag for inspection.

Conclusion:
An excellent 75mm kit, well sculpted and cast with only minimal clean-up needed prior to painting. Highly recommended.

Thanks Guy for this review. From what I have seen of Reedees miniatures so far, this is another great offering. I'll have this on my Christmas wish list.
