IBG 72159 90/53 90mm Italian Anti Aircraft Gun 1/72 is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit of one of the most important Italian anti-aircraft weapons of World War II. Precisely designed by IBG, this 1/72 scale model is an excellent representation of the Cannone da 90/53 anti-aircraft gun, which formed the backbone of Italian air defense and was used by both the Regio Esercito and the Regia Marina.

The 90/53 gun was introduced into service in the 1940s and used by Italy on various fronts of the conflict until 1945. It was highly effective both as a long-range anti-aircraft weapon and as an anti-tank gun, for example in the fighting in North Africa and the defense of urban Rome in 1943. It featured excellent horizontal range (14 km) and vertical range (estimated at 10 km), as well as a high rate of fire—up to 19 rounds per minute.

The IBG 72159 model captures even the smallest details of the original — from the characteristic carriage design, through the aiming mechanisms, to the realistically rendered barrel and chassis details. The kit is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and ease of assembly, while the numerous details look great both "straight out of the box" and after further enhancement.
