If AFV Club's M109 is as good as their Stryker MGS and one doesn't have to paint the infamous MERDC camouflage, then this kit's a must.

I hope they follow the m109A2 up with a Paladin and a Vietnam M109

Another Churchill, an M109, a 263 and the Dorchester. All looks good, just wish they'd been a bit more original with the figures, guess the solider holding the dogs collar is a bit different.

Does anyone know the deal with the Amtrac??
It even has the Hobbyboss logo below it. Is this a rebox of the Hobbyboss one?
Strange.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to their M109A2. Lately, I've found myself buying more AFV Club models then any other manufacture.

I do paint MERDC. It's just that every time I do the model in MERDC it ends up in the bottom of the wastebasket, or worse, in my cabinet of shame.

My tank commander would have been quite upset if I binned his tank after applying the MERDC paint, since vehicles were often painted by the individual crews there is no wrong pattern. One unit I was in had it done by the maintaince battalion and there was still quite a bit of varience between tracks.
If you think its hard to get the pattern on 1/35 scale try 1/1. Some of the real ones came out really bad, it all mattered on how much the crew cared.

Hi Tom! It's not the pattern that's throwing me off. It's the colours that I used to use that looked way off. Of course, I've heavily changed my modus operandi for painting and priming since then. I may give MERDC another try with a refurbished USMC M60A1 with ERA in the future.

Someone makes a MERDC acrylic paint set. I think it is Lifecolor.
EDIT: Yes, it is Life color:
