M2A1 Detail sets?
Posted by corvettemike on Monday, October 29, 2012 7:01 PM

What's available for the Tamiya M2A1 Bradley in terms of aftermarket upgrades? So far all I've turned up is tracks and a metal barrel, everything else on google and ebay searches is for M2A2(A3) variants and the same named 1/2 track from WWII. If I grabbed a A2 set I don't think a while lot of it would be compatible with a  A1 variant though those in the know can correct me if I'm wrong.

As I replied to your Armorama post...

Eduard did three sets for the M2 Bradley from Tamiya. They had an Interior, Exterior, and a full Turret Interior set. They also bundled them together as a Big Ed set along with paint masks for it. I think they are still available.

On a side note, Tamiya's M2 kit (35132) is of a first generation M2 (M2A0). The M2A1 had the larger turret basket as seen in the M2A2 kit and the hull side firing ports were blanked over and not present any longer.

Cast the net wide Big Smile This helps alot though, I did find the Big Ed set, looks like it's mostly UK vendors stocking it. It's one of those items you need to shop around for because you can either get a good deal or ripped off really bad (like any detail set). Case in point I can get it from one vendor for about $30 USD where Eduards site wants $45 +$19 S&H.
