Thanks all. Sorry about the crappy pics. My camera doesn't take good close-ups. I'll try to get some better ones with a different camera, hopefully.

I see another ticket to Japan in someone's future. Looks great, can't wait to see the finished product.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

With all those details, it looks like another award-winner there, Gino. Keep is posted.

Hey Gino Awesome build so far. Being a forward observer I really can get into one of those. Have seen the Fist V but haven't had the chance to get into a Bradley yet. Heck the colt team I may get only has G/VLLD thrown in the back of a low top HMMWV.

Looks good!! Can't wait to see it after you finish!! I just had a brief introduction to the BFIST here at Fort Sill for OBC. I like it much more than the FISTV.

M7 BFIST in progress

Posted by HeavyArty on Monday, September 27, 2004 6:15 PM

Here is my latest, an M7 Bradley Fire Support Team (BFIST) vehicle. I converted it from the Tamiya M2A2 ODS with M2 interior as a base. The fire support station is scratch built with scratch chair, IFSAS computer and printer on top. All that is left on the interior is to fill it full of stowed gear. Turret interior is completely scratch-built with plastic card and bits and piece sof resin. The lower turret tub is from a left over pill bottle. The engine is converted from a Tamiya W. German Marder 1A2 IFV engine (compliments of Paul Truhe, ptruhe). SINCGARS radios from Real Models set (compliments of Matt Leese). The rest is all made by me. The exterior of the vehicle has also been updated and corrected from the info on Pavel's (Vidnik) site. Hope the exterior comes out as nice as the interior has. I'll post more pics once completed. It will be in markings of 3ID in Iraq once completed, 1-10 FA. What do you all think.
