Meng 1/35 M2A3 Bradley

The most important part is that it supposedly has a complete engine and interior. This kit will make the old Tamiya and Academy kits obsolete eBay bait.

Obsolete eBay bait. Say that three times fast!  

me wanty!! when does it come out?

Now if someone would come out with the M6 Linebacker!

I want it to sit next to my M2A0 Bradley with full interior. This will be one hell of a kit.

With some mods one can make a M3A3 Cavalry vehicle. But I'd rather finish my Tamiya Bradley first.

Meng has posted the below drawings and this text on their FB page:

"As the SS-004 kit will be available soon, MENGs artist shares a three-view drawing and a section view drawing of 1 paint scheme which he has carefully prepared with us. In the section view, you can see the engine, drivers compartment, passenger compartment and turret interiors. All of these interiors will appear in the kit."

If it lives up to the drawings and the standards of their recent releases, it will be awesome.

That will be one heck of a kit!

Love Meng Kits, I'm working on the French AUF1, great kit..I love the detail "without" a million small parts to make it happen, although there's no shortage of sprues. Just great parts and fit. Whats next for Meng?

I've only got one Meng kit, their Tiger High Mobility Vehicle. It looks good, but I've been too busy or lazy to get around to building it.

Oh WOW, I would like to build it in a "cut out" model, like the diagram to show the interior and details.

With all the hatches open, you can actually see pretty much everything inside.  I built an M7A2 BFIST with a full interior including engine and tranny and it is fully visible.

Not the best pics, but you get the idea.

Just seen the kit on HLJ.com and they are showing it at $75 (£55) and a Jan release

once finished with my stash I would definitely go for the Meng Bradley kit

I ordered one from LuckyModel and received it today. It reminds me of one of Dragons Premium kits. There are so many parts its hard to fit them all back in the box. Meng sure has made great strides in the short amount of time that they've been around.

Just got mine a couple days ago too.  It looks awesome.  I can't wait to start on it.

My first Meng is the D9R and all I can say is WOW,no flash, almost zero knockout holes (and the ones that are there are mostly hidden), great detail, l can go on the worst part about it is it will be finished soonhowever looks like I will have to work a bradely Iinto my collection.

Arty, that BFIST is killer! The Gott cooler is a really nice touch!

Thanks, it was a fun build.
