M2A2 BRADLEY IFV

[MrT]

I am in real armor frame of mind right now so here's another one. I have started a Tamiya M2A2 Bradley. I have never done one of these and thought now is the time. This is a typical Tamiya kit right down to the motor slots and holes in the lower hull so out comes the sheet plastic to fix that. :angry: I am doing this pretty much OOB, however I maintain the right to add details where I can. I have already moved through step 6 which means all those damn wheels are done. Here are some pictures and thanks for looking.

Nice, Bradleys are my favorite. I wish somebody comes out with the new interior for the A3 version.

great stuff!

Well Terry, even without the interior you Bradley looks pretty darn good. I have the old Tamiya kit #35132 M2 bradley and it has an interior. I'll keep the images of your build for a reference for when I finally start mine.

Cheers

No interior is a mixed blessing I guess... Looks good so far. Don't just just love open sponsons?

I think that at one time Tamiya owned stock in Evergreen Styrene and left off the sponson coverings so that modeller's would have to buy styrene sheet to fill the sponsons in with. ;<) LOL VBEG At least my kit has closed in sponsons.

Well there is a young fellow in our club that wanted to see how I would paint one of these so I thought I would give it a go.

Last night I set down and finished construction of the upper hull and even applied some paint. I have started out by painting everything Tamiya Nato Brown to get the shadow effect. Now I'm shading up from there. Here are some progress pic's and thanks for following along.
