Hi!

Guido, you surprise me again and again. It's, probably, the best bulding I ever see.

Congratulazioni mio amico!

Cheers!

Thank you both mates!
Some shots more. The can on the L turret side has been upgraded. Replaced the original Legend one resin part with some pe from Royal Model and a new Black Dog can.

All I can say is, wow...

Have you considered lighting for the inside as well to highlight the interior?

So much of the fine detail would unseen when this thing is buttoned up!

This is the Israeli M109. It is an American M109A2 that's been upgraded to IDF standards. It is also the improved version of their original M109A1 "Rochev" that they used until the early 90s when the "Doher" version was introduced.

Oh got you

Good question, I'm not sure. Some type of thermal sight maybe?

I believe it measures the muzzle velocity of the round as it's fired.

That's right......it's a muzzle velocity counter, called Madmal.
