Looks like a fairly nice kit of an unusual / important subject. I’d like to add one to my stash but I’ve had trouble tracking one down. LuckModels.com has an aluminum gun barrel and a resin upgrade set but not the kit itself. Greatmodels.com doesn’t seem to list it at all. Does anyone know where I could order one? Or is this kit just out of stock / out of production?

Thanks,
Noah

Currently out of production I believe. It's a rebox of the Italeri M110A2 with some rubber band Diehl tracks and Bundeswehr markings added. Curiously the tracks are designed to fit the M109 and need serious cutting down to make them the right length.

Actually, the tracks are just wrong. They are US M109 tracks. The M110A2G used different Diehl tracks. I believe Tiger Model Designs made a set of the correct Diehl tracks for it.

If you are just looking to build an M110A2, look for the original boxing by Italeri. It has the proper US tracks for it. I believe it is still in production. If not, it can be found pretty easily on eBay.
