Yup, the M109A7 PIM (Paladin Integrated Management) is the latest version that is currently being fielded. It has the same turret as an M109A6 Paladin, but an all-new hull based on Bradley components like running gear, engine, transmission, etc. It is supposed to extend the life of the M109 out to at least 2050, almost 100 years!

Who makes a good kit of the M109A6? I have the italeri kit, but was wondering if there is a nicer kit available.

I'm building the AFV Club M109A6 and it is a very, very nice kit so far.

AFV Club's kit is excellent. I highly recommend it.

After my years soent on the A3, all I can think of is more points for a net to hang up while you're erecting it.

Thanks fellas. Guess I'll try to pick one up if I can sell this italeri kit.

Now We just need a M992 to go with it. All these makers saying we have one, we have one. But nothing.
