That Tamiya kit is a re-boxing of the Italeri kit. The orignal kit was produced in 1983 and several companies have box it since in different variants. As far as i know these are the only 35th m109's on the market.

M109 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer - Vietnam War
Posted by Sergeant on Saturday, October 13, 2018 2:19 PM

This is the type of armor/artillery I was involved with during the Vietnam War era 44 years ago.

I’ve been looking for a top quality 1/35 scale model of the M109 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer and Tamiya’s item #37013 seems to be the only one available.

I like Tamiya models, but there are several high quality model armor/artillery manufactures in the market. I would like to know if there is another choice before I purchase the Tamiya model.
