This is great news. It is an M992A2 though. I can't wait to get one. It looks as though it will have a full interior too. Outstanding.

With the rear door setup as it is (split vertically) it is the version used only with the M109A6 Paladin.



The earlier version with horizontally split rear door was
used with the M109A2/3 through the early 2000s with M109A6 Paladins.



In '03 when 3 ID deployed to Kuwait for the invasion of Iraq, we had both types of M992A2 rear door setups and all M109A6 Paladins.

OK guys,
Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea of this vehicle.
Looks like a nice kit. Where and when was it used?
I did some searches just now and came up with basically nothing.

It is a M992 Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle, used in conjunction with the M109, and is based of the m109 chassis.

Finally.....been waiting for this one...and full interior, outstanding. I will be right there with Gino at the head of the line when this one comes out.

It will be interesting to see what AFV does, in any case this is outstanding news for the Redleg community of modelers!

Rounds Complete!!

Accordung to Raymond Chung, the release of the M992 is in 2015, so no need to hurry. Good that this time my references worked well also.

P.S. It would be quite senseless to release an ammo reload vehicle without interior.
