M109

Martin Oostrom Try this Calvin: https://modelercorner.com/mo..d-m109a1-m109a2-m109e4-m109g

Calvin Gifford Unfortunately, it looks like that site has been taken over by adware & malware. I registered and tried to DL five or six times. I did DL the photos of the instructions but the parts map it too small to do me any good, though if I can't find anything else they should help. Thanks anyway.

Martin Oostrom Sorry to hear that.

Łukasz Gliński Would that one be good enough? https://mojehobby.pl/products/M-109G.html

Calvin Gifford I did manage to find it on GalaxyKits.com

Derek Huggett Do you have details of the marking(s) given in the model please?

MoJo Hi Derek, not yet.

Spanjaard excellent finish, it simply looks real

Mike Grant Agree with Spanjaard

Dan M Looks very good, I like it a lot!

Choppa Nutta Agree with Spanjaard

Evgeny Brovkin Thanks. Now paladin will wait for abrams

Evgeny Brovkin But it only first step for tracks. Next fill be wasing, brush painting rubber and runway and drybrush shine metal for ridges and moving parts

Dan M Thank you Evgeny; i've also used Vallejo Track Primer as I like the color, i'm also doing a little color modulation by splashing it with some other Panzer Aces colors (Light Rust and Dark Rust) on a random pattern just to keep the tracks less uniform, then drybrush with a metal color.
I too had the same problems with it (very difficult to use with an airbrush) and right now i'm thinking either to :

1. replace it with AK Dark Tracks (which can be airbrushed and it has a similar color hue)
or
2. one experiment that i'm currently doing with my Warrior is paint the tracks directly in a metallic steel color (like Vallejo Metal Color Steel) then use washes and pigments to weather it and bring it to a more rusty, old look.

Bryn Crandell Going to keep an eye on this one!

James C Looks fantastic. Really awesome job you've done on the chipping and weathering.

Evgeny Brovkin Thanks!
Holl add final album with photos in few hours

Bart Goesaert looks very good, congratz...

Holger Kranich Wooohh, thats a cool Paladin and a great tutorial. Seems to be a typical AFV-Club kit. I like your weathering - not overdone but realistic. Well done, Evgeny!

Evgeny Brovkin Thank's

Ulf Petersen Great model, Andres!
By the way: I like your Avatar! (For the mates: this is the insignia of the Luftwaffe KG26 that mainly flew torpedo bombing missions during WWII). I once read a book that was written by one of the pilots of this unit and that was very interesting.
Here's the description on the english Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampfgeschwader_26
Andres, what was your reason to chose this insignia as your Avatar?

Andres Ocampo A. Gracias por sus comentarios. Ulf, la razón de ese avatar radica en que el primer bombardero bimotor que arme fue un HE-111 a 1/48 de Monogram, de la KG26, desde entonces, lo adopte de avatar, ademas, me gusta su lema "vestigium leonis", huella de leones.

Ulf Petersen Gracias por la explicación, Andres!

Thomas Kerl A nice Panzerhaubitze! I like the finish. The old Italeri kit turns out very well, but it contains some inaccuracies for the german version.

Andres Ocampo A. Cierto Thomas, es un kit muy básico, trate de corregir lo mejor posible acercándolo a la versión de 1962, pero había muy pocas fotos de esa época, entonces, trate de acercarme lo mas posible a esa versión.

Rui S Looking good, Thorsten nice detailing...

Jeffrey Riedesel Will be watching this one. Nice job on the mantle

Szilárd Kun Which type of putty did you use?

Andres Ocampo A. Jeffrey, Thanks.

Szilárd, That is a putty that is sold in Colombia , is general purpose and is of the Pintuco brand, in my opinion, better than Tamiya putty.

Szilárd Kun Understand. Thanks!

Scott Dutton Nice, repainted a hand me down of the revel kit about 18months ago

Damien Battersby Well I see I am not the only one who has a small collection of resin. If you have a look at my albums you will see a couple of kits that I have built. Oh I am getting one of those photo things that you spoke about but the one I am getting is 80 x 80 x80 as I have quite a few large kits to take pics of.

Scott Dutton Ebay for the 80x80, what camera do you use, DSLR or compact. I havent ordered mine yet, next pay probably, would be interested how you go re photography. I had the 80 x 80 one selected then decided it all looked too big for regular use so decided on the smaller one whoich would take majority of kits (I hope). Intent is to do a big shoot one wqeekend to document it once and for all.

Damien Battersby OK buying the 80x80 because of the size of some of the kits I have like the tank transporters and the big egg beaters. Had to buy new camera as I had lost the disc for the old kodak digital camera. So went and bought a brand new pentax plus telephoto lens and stand oh and I do have a small Sony pocket camera that used to be my sons partners she was going to throw it out as it was not working.BUYING a new battery made a world of difference.

Jonathan Llewellyn Currently @ the priming stage. Using my new H&s infinity cr plus airbrush.

Przemek Przybulewski Nice one. Love the camo painting.

Lucas C. Thanks--it was a gift to a friend who served in the unit I depicted. All his howitzers were in the gray desert scheme.

Barry Lloyd Very impressive camo.

Gerald Willing Nice work and excellent camo

Marcus J Well done camo!

Holger Kranich Looks cool! How was the kit?

Heico van der Heide Thanks Holger. It was a bit tricky, certainly no Tamiya/Dragon/Trumpeter/Meng. But still it was a fun build. Not my personal best work either, that's for sure.

Holger Kranich Definately good work, I like you Paladin!

berni Hello heico, very nice work!

Barry Lloyd It looks pretty good to me. Are you going to add a crew?

Heico van der Heide No, it's finished. I just forgot to post the final pictures

Heico van der Heide Thanks Berni.

Gerald Willing New in the Web .

Roland Roth Wo hast du denn den Bausatz noch aufgegabelt, Thorsten?
Heute sah ich den MARS, aber bis ich wieder vor Ort war, hatte der schon einen Käufer gefunden

Thorsten Drescher Glücksfang heute nachmittag bei eBay...

Thorsten Drescher Und dazu noch zu einem halbwegs vernünftigen Preis. Kein Wahnwitzmondpreis. 24,00?

Markus Kutsch Hi Przemek
You did a very good job for your first model.I like Pic 7 where you show the dry and crusted Mud in difference to the wet.

Frank Krause ??? Sorry, Przemek, but it's hard to believe that this should be your first model. Your first model within March?
Stunning work!

Roland Roth Hello, Przemek!
Congrats to your 1st model! I've seen some little things that could be improved even more - but in view of the fact that it's your first model, you can also see across. You are well on our way to a great modeller.

Steve Wilson Gosh first model, speechless...Well done

Thorsten Drescher Ohhh....it´s the old Italery Paladin in Tamiyabox.

SCM79 really? damn I hoped Tamiya would have picked it up as well

SCM79 ah now I see it on the full timeline. @SCM: why is not shown when viewing Tamiya kit?

SCM79 love the M109! it is just a such a powerful looking machine

Gerald Willing Ohh yes...

Frank Krause Hi Gerald, thanks a lot for this intersting inside view of the M-109. Now we need a manufacturer, who is willing to to produce one with interior...
