Spalah's SP28472 is a set of four 1/72 scale figures representing the Ukrainian crew of an M119A2 light howitzer, and they are intended as a complement to Spalah's kit of this gun (SP25372 reviewed here).
They are 3D printed and come in a rigid cardboard box. Inside there are two pieces of foam and the figures are printed inside an individual cage for added protection.
Removing the figures from the printing supports is quite simple. Despite having many, they come off easily. It is advisable to check with a high magnification to thoroughly clean all support residues.
The detail of the figures is exceptional; they are very well designed and printed. One of them even has tiny laces on her boots!
The poses of the figures are also very natural, and despite their size, the figures remain perfectly balanced.
Although barely noticeable at first glance, in a few areas there are faint printing bands that should be sanded down because they could be seen under magnification or in close-up photos.
The figures need no assembly whatsoever, they come in one piece ready to paint after released from the supports.
The radio had a tiny antenna that I unfortunately broke.

Note all the details of the boots.
Conclusion
An extraordinarily detailed set for the 1:72 scale that perfectly complements the M119A2 kit to create a small scene. The level of realism of the poses and details are stunning, regardless of the scale.
