Looking good Cap...it's quite cool that the M109 has the same sort of muzzle break ive seen on the real thing..very cool 

I had no idea there were different variants ! Hard to find much info on the CDN ones. I know they had the short barrel with the big fat gas expel thing at first, then i think they went to the long barrell. I'm not too concerned as it's just for my own layout. Once a pair of them are lashed down to a 60 foot car I doubt anybody will notice anyway !

To ture on the load out Cap'n but yeah there's quite a few M109s and yup you had the short barreled 155 used in veitnam with a fume extractor on the barrel..then the longer caliber gun ..much better range ..then the one you've got which like I said I saw on a German one which has a even longer barrel than the standard lenght gun..there's been prototypes with different guns for different potential customers which didnt seem to go anywhere .
Since Canada use or used ..can't remember now...the M109 yours can be one which the troops are trying as a replacement or upgrade for your older 109s 

These little Roco machines are something !

Beware, it could drive you mad(der).

Der is correct Fred  and we can only hope it does

Sometimes you get lucky ! I want to turn a pair of Leo 1s into Bieber Bridge Layers. The Revell instructions scale pretty close to 1:87 ! That will make things easy !]You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

And more often you don't 

Hope it's the start to a lucky year Cap't 

Having that 72nd kit sure is handy ! And as always, close enough for rock and roll ! You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment. 

I've always wanted to build a bridge layer but in 35th it's a pretty big task and I can't decide on whether to go German with the sliding system or the normal folding system .
I know there's Resin conversions out there but ouch in the coin department but least I have a heap of tank hull to choose from.
Keeping a very close eye on this Cap..I like this a heap already
