Just found this on the net. The news are so hot they are not even posted on their website... Legend Productions has two new conversion and stowage sets for IDF vehicles in the works.

These two do look rather appealing.

Maybe they should do a stowage set for the Tamiya M20. Oh, and a radio set.

The other two are very much on my list, especially the M51 set.

Yup, I have seen those too, just didn't have enough time to post it all. Will do when I get home from work. I'm actually surprised to see the news appear in some on-line webstores, but not on Legend website.

M109 Doher conversion looks amazing. That one is definitely on my wish list. I hope Legend would do some IDF figures to compliment all the IDF releases they have been pumping out lately.

I hope the M109 conversion will work for Italeri's M-109A6.

Matt,
The M109A6 has the wrong turret for the Doher. But the conversion should work for the older Italeri kits.

Hi Robert, can you give a quick reference on what is different?

M109s slick through A5 had a turret that was rounded in the front. The A6 Paladin has a completely new turret, but retained the older hull. With the new PIM system, from BAE we'll see new hulls as well, with components shared with the Bradley.

M109A6 Paladin:


vs.

M109A4/5:


Like Rob says, turrets are totally different, Israeli's never used Paladin either.
