I have just started a M109 and was wondering if anybody has had any problems with it. So far everything has fit perfectly...It's looking good and should be done within a few weeks. I am planning and making a diarama of the tank sitting next to some kind of tent. with a few guys target shooting in the back or the guys drinking beers while sitting on the tank. It should be fun but its still in the first stages of construction.

i haven't seen my started one in awhile but I don't remember too many problems

All in all, it's a pretty easy kit without any major headaches. As I remember there were a few minor sinkholes on mine, but nothing earth shattering.

I have built a few,mind the front of the hull to the lower hull.Sometimes there is a gap there.
Are you doing it OOB?
I think building a revetment around itwould be a nice touch.

I've got an old Testors/Italeri M109/M109G coming in the mail and an M109A6 Paladin waiting in the wings. I grabbed a set of Skybow M108/M109 individual tracks and the Barrel Depot M109 and M109A6 aluminum barrels. I'd love to do an interior for one of these since I have an M109A4 and M109A5 at work.

Go and get the warriors interior Sabot for both the hull and turret. it gives you most of what you need to make a nice kit.

I built the long barreled version (A1?) from Italeri a few years back. IIRC, the kit tube is a bit too long. You might want to verify that. Other than that, it's typical Italeri and was a good build, with no major problems.
