This version of the Bradley has a large grating-like structure on the right side of the hull, apparently on
the side skirts. It looks like an engine grille, but is in completely the wrong place (the Bradley engine is
at the front of the hull, on the left side). I have also seen this attachment on Humvees. What exactly is this
for - is it some sort of additional armour?
I'm thinking of building my 1/24 model as this variant - what are the other differences between it and the standard
M2A2? And are there any ODS Bradleys in NATO/European-theatre camouflage? The only ones I've seen are in all-over desert
sand.
BTW I'll post some pictures of my progress with the model later, I've done a huge amount in the last week, the interior
is complete and painted, and the exterior 80% or so complete assembly-wise. (Still a LOT of bolt-heads and rivets to add
though :) )
