You don't see any of the older M2/M3 vehicles any more. They have all been replaced with the newer models. And even the A2 models all have been up graded. Like the Brads in the 3rd ID.
I think companies like Tamiya need to get with the times and come out with a new M2A3 or a M3A3. Like the ones they have in the 4th ID, or at least up date the M2/M3 kit with the new main gun and rework the crew compartment with the bench style seating. There is a bunch they could do.
Take care,
Pat

Cader,

On the M1A2 thread, there's a pic of an Abrams that shows the Chevrons and their meanings. Its kinda neat and logical if you think about it.

^ = A company
>= B Company
<= C company
|> = D Company

There are also black squares inside each chevron indicating platoon assignments. I've got some nice shots of a D Company 1/64 Armor Abrams with a mine plow just before it shipped over to Iraq.

M2 Bradleys in Iraq
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 11:50 AM
Are there any of the original model Bradleys (rounded armour, etc) fighting in Iraq? I have one of the Tamiya ones that I painted when I first started armour, and I would like to reuse it.
Also, could anyone explain how US tactical markings (chevrons, those sand colored strips with writing on them, ) work?
I'm at a loss.
