I'm looking information on the ammunition used by an American M109A6. Particularly interested to know if there are any manufacturers producing 1/35 scale munitions which can be used with the kit. Failing that anyone point me in the right direction to find sufficient detail to allow me to reproduce the various shell and storage units.
Many thanks in advance

I wasn't aware that the ammo had changed, it should be standard 155mm nato with the exception of their being new types like Excalibur.
I made an AFV club m548 vehicle recently and it came with a ton of the ammo and storage canisters for the ammo and propellant. Suggest looking at that company.

I guess this older set should be usable as well...

The ammo pack arrived safe and well at the weekend. First chance I've had to let you know. Thanks very much again great service & it didn't take that long to cross the pond. Just exactly what I was looking for.
Just one unfortunate thing however, I got stung for and additional £13.21 for import duty and our Post office kindly included their fee of £8 handling charge to collect the £5.21 tax. Worked out 45% of the cost of the stuff.
But thanks again for the kit.

OUCH! And I get upset because the PO's special delivery driver can't find my house.

Shocking aint it - When people say don't lie, don't cheat and don't steal - the government hates competition, they aint far off the truth !.

Interestingly AFV Club just released a set for the M109a1-A4. Not sure if they would work or could be adapted, though. http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/rzqcj7zxnpqih3hevu7o.html
