Are the 2006 ones light green and the 2010 ones pure white? Or is that a trick of the lighting and film, etc.?
Cool find though.
thanks,
Sean.

I guess maybe you're right. Those in the old Verlinden M108/M109 book show another paint scheme : white for the turret and Olive-drab for the hull (IIRC, the pictured M108 is a Belgian one)...

Interesting. All US M108s had semi-gloss white interiors, just like all of the M108/M109 series did/does. The M109A6 Paladin still has a semi-gloss white interior. It definitely looks like a seafoam green interior on the Belgium one in the pics though.

Nice pics of the rare M108 inside. Have to agree with Gino. The pics from 2006 are my favorite puke green. All the M109s I saw were white inside. The 2010 photos are white and show the outside of an M108 with US markings.

Still cool all in all.....now a nice M108 internal set to match a new M108 kit......sorry day dreaming again!!

Rounds Complete!!

I ment the M108 in the Verlinden book was Belgian, but I don't know about the one in the 2006 pics : you can notice that stencils are in English
