It was a real pleasure to build this Revell M109. Although it's not an easy kit, with 160 parts and many small details, it takes time, but everything fits together perfectly and with an overall great level of moldings. One of this kit great features are the hatches: 3 in the turret and 2 in the hull (one for the engine and the other is the rear entrance), these are separate parts and can be opened on the finished model. This is a useful feature that will come in handy for some modelers (like me). Inside details are also great if hatches are open: with a lot of moulded-in mesh, anti-slip coatings and other items of interest, including a crew figure with modern uniform and helmet to reflect the period of use of this variant. There’s even a basic engine compartment with additional details under a separate hatch. The 155mm main gun, is cast in one piece with an openwork muzzle brake. The turret is a large part of the vehicle, and it has a lot of stuffs in this kit: aircon, targeting sensors, towing cables, ammo, pioneer tools and additional fuel cans are added around the turret, with radio mast bases and additional stowage at the rear, creating a large overhanging bustle. On the roof the commander’s cupola is constructed with hinged hatch, plus a well-detailed .50cal M2 Browning self-defence gun mounted on the front of the hatch. Highly detailed Tracks made of plastic. Markings and painting: there are two decal options included on the sheet, one for desert sand overall, the other in the NATO euro scheme of green, black and brown. Instructions with steps that are easy to understand. With a very nice molding quality, clever parts division and interior elements copied, this kit is highly recommended.
