Paladin Stowage Question

Armor/AFV Modern
1

Hi All,

I have recently purchased the 1/35 RFM M109A7 Paladin, and I have the 1/35 AFV Club M109A6 Paladin on order. I plan to build the A6 as an OIF vehicle, and have photos of such an AFV. I have just purchased the Legend M109A6 Paladin Stowage set (LF1271) which look quite nice. Since the Legend set is supposed to be for the A6 variant, I’m assuming the pieces included will be appropriate. The question I have is whether the LF1271 set would also be applicable to the M109A7 variant, or at least mostly so, even though the A7 is about 20 years later. Does anyone have any idea if the pieces/parts of the Legend set as a whole would be applicable to the A7, and if not, which items should be left off of an A7 variant. I realize this is pretty detailed question, but if anyone happens to have any ideas, I’d greatly appreciate them!! Thanks in advance.

Not compatible. Nor is the other one I have:

The largest resin piece in both sets attaches to the upper rear turret. On the A7 the Duke housing is there. There’s no way to shape the pieces to get them to fit around it, and even if you could, the unit needs air circulation to keep it cool.

Understood, sir, thank you very much for your very quick reply. What about all the other items besides the large piece that mounts on the rear of the turret? Can any of those items be used on the A7 variant? Are any of those other smaller separate pieces outdated and thus unusable on A7 or could I use those pieces scattered about on the A7?

Everything else is very usable.
