Hi all, Hope this is the place to ask this. Does anyone know if any manufacturer makes a model of the M 109A5 or A6 Paladin ? Thanks in advance for any replies. milvehfan

Italeri makes the complete M108 (105mm, same chassis)/M109 series. They do not make a specific M109A5, but the M109A2/A3 kit is externally the same. The majority of the A5 changes were internal. Their M109A6 Paladin is pretty nice, as are all their M109 kits. I believe only the Paladin is in production now, but the others can be found on eBay quite often.

Italeri also does the M107/M110 chassis as well. The M107 was a long-barreled 175mm gun. The M110 was a short-barreled 8-inch, 203mm, howitzer. They shared the same chassis too.

I have built a bunch of them, being an artilleryman. Good luck.
