None that I know of. It is still in the test and eval phase though, so it isn't in its final version yet. Hopefully someone will come out with one. It took almost 20 years to get a resin M198, lets hope this one is quicker and in plastic.

Mouse House M198
They also do an M118 / M119 as well.
Airmodel's isn't too bad. I have it, but haven't built it yet. It looks pretty good in teh box though.

Gino,
Canada has been using them in Aghanistan for a while now. Got them from the USMC. Some good photos if you snoop around here
Would be nice to see a plastic kit, quite a monster!

Pretty cool. I hadn't heard that the Canucks had them already. Here in the US, one Bn in the Army and one Bn in the USMC have them for operational testing only so far. They have not been deployed operationally yet. Thanks.

One of my very firsts posts here was a review of the Airmodel M198. I've just bumped it in case anyone wants to see the problems with their kit.

Amen to Gino's comments about the M198 and how long it took to see any kit of it in production. It would be nice to see a plastic kit for the 198, but as it's going to phase out soon, I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. I'll have to save up my pennies and get one of the resin ones, just so I have on in the stash. Then it'll be a waiting game to see if the M777 gets made into a kit.

Well, I thought if some doctored photos of the M198 in Wermacht markings made the rounds on the web, then some company out there would jump on the chance to kit it...
