AFV Club recently released some updated images of an upcoming SPG, and I must say a few shots impressed me.
Not that long ago, AFV Club announced a 1/35 scale M109A2, and now we have some more images of this upcoming kit. I was impressed with some of the detail, including the opened breech. As more images come out, hopefully we are moving closer to release.

It is looking really nice. The .50 cal mount is really wird and not a standard mount. I like the breech on the gun. It is really detailed. With it and the open engine and battery compartment hatches, I wonder if they will include an interior. I hope so.

Count me in! I am impressed and hopefully thier experience with the tracks will be transfered to this kit. AFV always seems to step up with something I just have to have.

...it resembles the M63 anti-aircraft mount and the Browning M2 is the aircraft version Frenchy

Yup, but that mount hasn't really been used since WWII and is not used with am M109 Howitzer. I hope they keep the collimator. It is a much more fitting accessory for the howitzer.

My Dutch Artillery battery had several of these .50 mounts when I was there in the early nineties

Well, not in US Army artillery units anyways.

So, it's a pretty neat addition to the kit if they include non-US decal options. As a side note the mount was in use by US forces in both Korea and Vietnam (non-arty perhaps) and I have been looking for one for a wihle. The quest seem to be over. Back to the kit: I really like what I see! My credit card is ready... Cheers, /E

They will certainly include Taiwanese option and my guess is that this is the reason for the M63 mount inclusion - probably Taiwanese Army uses them. I have one on pre-order already, but now seriously consider ordering at least two more

Finally it looks like both the collimator and the AA gun mount will be included http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/afvclub.html Frenchy
