A nit-pick. The caliber would be 76.2mm, or 7.62cm. ;-)

Nice model though!

Officially titled the Ordnance Quick-firing 17-pounder, this excellent anti-tank gun was more commonly known as the 17-pdr. A 3" (7.62mm) gun developed by the British, it was arguably the best Allied anti-tank gun of the war, going on to be mounted in Sherman Fireflies and Achilles tank destroyers, amongst others, as the British tried to deal with the heavily armored German tanks, such as the Tiger, King Tiger, etc.

This great new model comes with five crew – each with separate Figure Heads, allowing you to pose them as you desire, or to replace them with the likes of Scottish heads in Tam o'Shanters for Highland forces.
