                        Academy 1/35 Bradley M2 upgrade ?
                        Posted by jayjay82 on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 8:08 PM

                        Will the upgrade kit from  eduard 35920 1/35 Armor‑ M2A2 Bradley Work?

                        Is it compatible with the original early production Bradley?

                        I am confused and am not sure if it is for this kit or for the M2A2 academy bradley?

                        Any help?  I'd be very appreciatve

                        No, set 35920 is for the later Academy M2A2 OIF kit.  Some of the non-specific parts such as engine screens may fit, but most of the parts are specifically for the M2A2 kit.  For a basic, M2A0 Bradley, Eduard makes sets 35110 M2 Exterior and 35111 M2 Interior.

                        The Academy M2A0 kit is an almost exact duplicate of the original Tamiya kit. the only difference as far as I'm aware is that the track pads moulded on the track shoes are reversed. All other parts are identical.

                        Yup, they did, I think it is out of prodution though.  I couldn't find it on their site.  I had a couple of them to go with older Brads I had.

                        Good to know.  I guess I missed it or was using the wrong search words.
