good day guys!

half way thru my dio, i needed a little side project coz im feeling a little sick of it already.. it would consist of some artillery in my kit stash and one that i havent bought yet.. its just a small series of artillerys.. namely, the trumpeter british AS-90, revell german panzerhaubitze 2000 and the revell M109A6 paladin.. i havent bought the paladin yet so i was wondering if any of you guys have built this one before? i was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on what to watch out for and stuff i need to know coz i'll be ordering one on the net and i could see the kit myself... i have also ran into a dead end in search for kit reviews on this one.. is it an accurate kit? does it come with vinyl or individual track links?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

Revell's Paladin is a reboxing of Italeri's kit. It comes with vinyl tracks which are not accurate for a Paladin (they should differ from those of the previous variant...but maybe I'm nit picking ). The problem is the same with AFV Club/Skybow aftermarket indy track links...If you are interested and providing you can read french, I can send you a 4-page building article from a french modeling magazine...

You may find this review of the Italeri kit (which Revell just reboxed) useful:

Hope it helps!
