Hopefully see these in plastic soon. The L52 155mm version to be built locally, along with the ammo supply vehicle. Given Academy do the K9, and the Finnish version, too, surely the Aussie version in their distinctive camo is a possible option?

I thought the K9 had a L52 if the Aussies dont modify it the kit would be out of the box build camo would be easy markings would be the hard part

We haven’t bought it yet. Hanwha still have to bid - as the only respondent - and offer a compliant & value for money offer. I’d say it’s 10-12 months from contract signature at best.
