Looks like a nice item. Now if only I had taken some photos of the real thing when I had the chance...

Are there any updates planned for the M109? Like a KAWEST Conversion? Swiss decals would be nice too.

Cheers!

Dear Stefan


for the moment i have not focus on the m109. The problem is that the italeri is very hard to find now... but if you have plans or documentation on the M109 i'm interested.

For the decals i have buy an ALPS printer this and one of my friend is working on a decal sheet for the swiss army vehicles.

The next projects are the back part of the Panzer 87 turret and surely a swiss turret for the futur CV90-30

Regards

Dan

CV-90 sounds good too!

I have lots of pictures, measurements and the original manual for the KAWEST and I'm planning to scratch a conversion one day. Just didn't have the guts to start it yet... Tell me if there's anything you need.

Looking forward to further developments in the future!

Cheers!
