M7 BFIST, New, Clear Pics
Posted by HeavyArty on Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:40 PM
Here is my latest, again, with nice, clear pics. 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. Turret interior is completely scratch-built with plastic card and bits and pieces of 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.
The decals were custom made on my printer taken from images off the internet for warning and danger placards.
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.

Without further ado.








Gota love a good camera.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I really love it! Nive touch with all of the warning placards. I never thought of using your technique to replicate them!

I wish two things: That my Bradleys looked like that & I had your camera. LOL
