Painted a while ago and to be honest they are more scenery than anything as they have a real life conventional range of 18km but I like them, not the right version as well but they'll do me.Added some 15mm extras from the bitz box and there you go.......
They need some markings at a later date, the US one is painted Tallarn Sand from GW and the Idf pair are Sinai grey from the Vallejo model air range (lots of coats). Not a bad kit compared to some of the others in the range but the eyesight is fading and the 2 foot rule is in effect........
The M109 is an American 155mm self-propelled howitzer, first introduced in the early 1960s. It has been upgraded a number of times, most recently to the M109A7. The M109 family is the most common western indirect-fire support weapon of maneuver brigades of armored and mechanized infantry divisions.
They look blooming good from where I'm sitting Fran.
ReplyDeleteCheers Russ!
DeleteThey look wonderful Fran! With a range of 18K I can see them being just eye candy, otherwise you will need a bloody long table!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it!
DeleteAbsolutely awesome stuff Fran. They really do look the business and I love all the little baggage bitz you've added to them, as it helps break up their monotone look rather nicely. Terrific posting imho.

Cheers for that!
DeleteTerrific work Francis! Love the 'compensator' guns on these fellas. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey really appealed to me!
DeleteGreat stuff AL, I guess I like the sand variant more than the 'greys' but varitey in Fanconia is obviously approved of!
ReplyDeleteCountries like to be different!
