Zvezda Snap Kit snap-in kit

The models of the Zvezda series of the Snap Kit series are intended mainly for beginning builders. Individual plastic pieces need to be cut from the moldings with a knife or snapped out with pliers. The plastic pieces are designed so that they can snap together and thus hold together. We definitely recommend gluing the individual pieces together after clicking to increase the strength of the models, eg with Revell Contacta Professional glue.

The assembled model must then be painted with enamel (synthetic) or acrylic paints on plastic models.

Template information:

M109 is an American 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, first introduced in 1960. During its existence, it has undergone several modernizations. So far, the latest version is called M109A7. The M109 is one of the most widely used weapons in the west to provide fire support. The six-member crew consists of a commander, driver, shooter, assistant shooter and two ammunition operators. The shooter controls the movement of the cannon left or right, the assistant controls the barrel up and down.

The M109A2 howitzer is armed with a 155 mm long M185 cannon with a long barrel, which is mounted on an M178 carriage. The ballistic protection of the panoramic telescope, the barrel lock and the possibility to use the M140 leveling device have been added. The amount of ammunition transported increased from 28 to 35 pieces of 155 mm rounds. Ammunition for the .50cal machine gun includes 500 rounds. The M109A2 was also created in a slightly simplified version intended for export. These howitzers bear the designation M109A1B.
