Bob, it was just discussed the other day. It's the first post on page 2 titled "paladin". I posted a couple of reviews, one for the kit, the other for the Eduard PE set.

Problem with the kit is that Italeri (Revell of Germany reboxes the Italeri kit) uses the same hull for their entire line of M109 howitzers. The first models of the M109 had an amphibious capacity. Part of the swim system is a large boomerang shaped object forward of the turret opening on the upper hull. This item was deleted in subsequent M109s like the M109A4 and beyond. Doubtful anyone could successfully remove the detail without trashing the hull.

I've built one of the M109s (M109) and have another two (M109A2, M109A6) on the shelf. Decent kits to build.
