THE KIT:
Croco is a model company based in Riga, Lituania. They manufacture model kits and accessory items in resin and photo-etch and some decals.
This kit comes in a small generic brown box, that has a hinged lid with locking tabs that hold it shut.
The box art is a separate sheet glued to the lid. It shows a color photo of actual Soviet 250kg, high explosive, fragmentary bombs.
No picture of the wood crates that are what is in this kit are shown anywhere on the web that I can find. Instead I found a picture of the bombs in solid wood crates.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX:
This kit holds 4 light tan resin parts and 2 brass PE frets. In 4 zip locked clear cello bags.
The resin parts are the open latticed containers. Probably on the real ones being wood? There are two sides to each container and a set of sides in 2 of the zip locked bags. The 2 brass PE frets are each in the other 2 zip locked bags.

The PE is the straps I assume that should band the containers? There is no instruction sheet and this kit could sorely use a little one.
This set will fit well into a Soviet airfield diorama.
Highly recommended.
