nothing like a good Bradley kit. If only Meng made a early M2A0 as well....

I didn't realize the Academy kit had the interior as well-- the model looks very nicely finished!

Gino, those kinds of critiques are invaluable and I wish more people were as knowledgeable and forthright in their comments! Yes

Looks pretty nice overall.  The color and weathering are really nice.  A couple pointers though.  The front turn signals should be amber (yellow) not red.  The ammo cans on the outside of the turret bustle rack should have the small squares and the bottoms sand.  They are in holders that are the same color as the hull.  Likewise, on the right side turret ammo cans, the cans themselves should be green, with only the holders on the sides and bottom sand.  It looks like the barrel has broken off the coaxial MG to the right of the main gun.  Only the barrel should be gunmetal, with the rounded cover being hull color (which you also have gunmetal).   On the rear periscopes behind the top hatch, only the upper 1/3 (raised area on the face) should be dark as the periscope glass is only this portion. The area below the glass down to the hull should be hull color. Lastly, the circular protrusions on the rear of the TOW box should be green.  They are the back ends of the TOW missiles themselves, not part of the hull.  Like I said, a great job overall.  Correcting some of the smaller details will make it even better.
