"In April 2014, U.S. Army has received the first delivery of the first low-rate initial production M109A7 Self-Propelled Howitzer."

"Prototypes of the M109A7 began tests at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (Arizona) in 2008 when the original concept demonstrator was brought out for testing. Formal developmental testing began after that. Until now, over 10,000 test rounds have been fired. In 2013, this artillery system was approved for production and a contract was issued to BAE Systems to upgrade first M109A6 systems to the M109A7 standard. The US Army has planned to obtain a fleet of 580 M109A7 howitzers and the same number of associated M992A3 armored ammunition support vehicles.

The M109A7 PIM Howitzer is supposed to begin fielding in FY18. They are expected to be fully fielded, replacing all M109A6s by 2025.

I will say it before the trash talk starts Panda kits have gotten better with each kit. So i have high hopes for this one.

Wouldn't those tracks be correct for the the Bradley?

Yes they would. They are the same T161 track as used on the latest Bradleys That is one feature of the M109A7 PIM (Paladin Integrated Management), it uses common running gear and automotive components of the Bradley.
