Hey Sarge, I recently completed a build of Italeri's M-109 kit, was pretty pleased with how it turned out (only a couple of minor fit issues with the running gear/tracks, otherwise an easy build). I know the kit allows it to be built as at least an A1 or A2, it might be able to be built as an A-nothing as well, as there are a bunch of extra parts on the sprues that are not called out in the instructions. You can check out my build over on the Modern Armor Group Build thread.

Italeri makes a basic short barrel M109 kit with a M109G (early) option in the box.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Armor_Aficionado, do you have a link or picture of your finished M109? What I saw on the Group Build thread was work-in-progress.
