Looking very good! The ONLY thing I can see that you could fix right now is the left front hatch on the turret. It has a raised lip around it. In reality, you'd need to sand it off and scribe that outline in.

Superb work! I'm building one of these, for the Big Guns Campaign. How is the Voyager set? I was looking at Eduard, but I have more experience with Voyager.

Beautiful work. Does anyone know if the KMC set is still available for the M109?

Oops it probably wasn't KMC. Memory playing tricks. I know it included a detailed fighting compartment, and turret.

It was originally produced by KMC and IIRC then Warriors acquired it. Both versions are long out of production. Maybe somebody will make an updated interior for the AFV Club kit!

@retiredyank-I always prefer to use the voyager PE set,because the details are very good and the set is better.

@18Bravo- I did not touch the door, because I wouldn't have done it well in the end. My paladin will be 90% accurate hehe.

And turret is ready for wash.
