Some news out of Kinetic Model Kits has an American tracked modern artillery support vehicle on the way.
Kinetic Model Kits has announced they have a M992A2 Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle in the works. The M992 is based on the M109 chassis and is designed to carry up to 90 conventional rounded, as well as a conveyor system for transfer of ammunition to a M109. I have also seen images of the M992 towing a conventional field artillery piece. The kit is stated to include a fully detailed interior.

Had this photo in my collection from Ft. Knox and thought I would toss it into this thread. (Mike Koenig photo)

So is the key difference between the two the back doors?
MAY 03, 2014 - 11:49 AM
Yes. The Kinetic CAD shows a newer M992A2 with the vertically-split rear doors modification. Riich Models CAD shows a older M992A2 with the horizontally-split rear doors. Other than that, the rest of the externals should be the same. There are a few differences internally, but nothing major.

Since the vehicles are from 1 CAV, that is Ft Hood, not Ft Knox.

Gino. are those Gerry can full of water or fuel?

In the CAD are water cans. Fuel cans can also be strapped in the same positions.

My first though was there aren't that many trees in all of Killeen/Fort Hood combined.
