Request for Kinetic M109A2 painting guide

Could someone who has the Kinetic M109A2 kit scan the painting instructions for the MERDC version at a fairly high resolution and send them to me? The AFV Club kit I’m building doesn’t have the MERDC scheme and I can’t find the pattern for the M109A2 on the Web despite several days of trying (I did find the pattern for the M109, but the A2’s is slightly different because of the longer gun and turret configuration). Please help me out of you can. My email is dropsite4 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thanks!

I did find the Kinetic instructions as a low-res image, but the quality is not good enough to enlarge and make paper masks out of.

Here are a few shots to help. It’s gonna be close to the short barrel scheme with any changes being shown in these photos.

Or you can cheat and give it a replacement barrel like this one

Stick has given you some good examples. The MERDEC patterns varied. Here is a web site showing the different patterns with the different colors

Rounds Complete!!

If you need more you can PM me with your email. I have some scans of a magazine that has all 5 sides or the 109 pattern plus others.

It also has M551, M163, M113, M60 and M577

Heres a shot of the Kinetic instruction sheet off of the Hobby Search website. A great place for looking up things like instruction sheets

Thanks a lot guys! Sorry I didn’t post earlier, but for some reason my access to the forum wasn’t working right after I switched to my new computer. I got it all sorted out now.
