If you’ve got the Special Armour Sd.Kfz.131 Marder II kit in 1:72, reviewed here on the forum, you should consider grabbing this set from CMK.  As usual with their resin sets, they arrive in the familiar clear bag, with the resin parts safely inside, and the instructions sandwiched between the red-themed header card at the rear.

There are six resin parts in the package on two casting blocks.  You get four crew helmets with joins on the domed tops and with hollow interiors, plus two stowage boxes of different styles, complete with tie-down straps, and a location suggestion on the folded instructions.  The boxes are patterned for specific locations, with the tall one attaching to the front right fender, while the flatter box fits on the left side of the rear deck.  The helmets can be strung along the tops of the crew compartment, or placed elsewhere if you like.  Casting is excellent, and the brims of the helmets are commendably thin.  Clean-up on the tops of the helms will need some gentle sanding to retain the shape, but otherwise the set should be simple to fit with the assistance of a razor saw and some warm water to remove the sanding debris and release agent residue.

 

Highly recommended.
