Hi guy's,
I finilly got my M-109 painted again.
Didn't like the way the first atempt came out, so I stripped off all the paint and (after a few month's) did it again.
You can see the pre-shading good this time.
This colour looks beter (the frist one was a bit pink)
so tell me what you think of them so far

Looks pretty good so far. However, if you are meaning to build a M109A2 as it looks, it should have the extended ammo box on the rear of the turret. Only M109A1 with short barrel was without the ammo box, and that was not used in desert colors in US service, not sure about in Israeli service. Depends on what you are building, but it doesn't look right to me.

If that is the case, it would still be an M109A2. The howitzers Iraq has in a large storage facilty near Taji were stolen from Kuwait in the frst Gulf War 1991 and were M109A2s.
