Overall impressions:

The first thing that strikes you about this kit is the large number of poses. This is a throw back to the glory days when Revell produced artillery sets with many poses to allow any element of servicing the gun. 

The artillery in this set depicts horse artillery, although uniforms and guns were common to all Russian artillery.

The poses include men loading the gun, firing it and moving it back into position afterwards. There are two men firing muskets which were supplied to protect the gun if  any attackers came in close range. All the poses are excellent and entirely appropriate.

In the field, Russian artillery wore the ubiquitous greatcoat and peak-less forage cap which was much the same uniform as the infantry.  A few of the solders have their coats turned up on the inside to shorten them and the various arrangements of straps all seem reasonable. All men wear the 'bucket' tall hat that was an oilskin cover for a helmet but was often worn by itself. 
The three 6-pounder guns in the set are all identical. The carriages are light and have the relatively small wheels favored by the Russians for use in horse artillery. 

The sculpting of the guns and figures is exceptional, with lots of detail in all the right places.
