M2 Bradley progress pics

Posted by lizardqing on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 7:41 PM

Been a while since I have put up any kind of progress here , that whole life thing with lots of overtime kind of got in the way of fun. This is the Tamiya 1/35 M2 Bradley kit with interior. At this point all the parts are in the interior and weathered. Still thinking about what type of luggage I want to throw in as well as some personal effects. All comments are welcome.

The drivers area.

Rear area shots.

I just bought one, now you've stoked my interest. Too bad, I have too many other builds going. Looking good so far, should turn out to be another wonderful build.

Very nice progress Chris. Does the Tamiya kit come standard with an interior?

Thanks guys. Hope to have more pics by the weeks end.

zokissima- The M2 one does. I don't believe any of thier other offerings do have the interior though. I could be wrong but it is the only one I have seen.

That kit presents plenty of diorama possibilities.

Chris,
One note, the TOW rounds on the left, rear rack should not have blue bands, unless they are inert practice rounds. If you are building a combat setting, the bands should all be yellow for live rounds. Blue is the standard color for inert or practice rounds in the US military.

What color did you use on the interior?

Awesome build so far...can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks again guys.

Gino- Thanks for pointing that out. I was just following the instructions and would not have known otherwise.

John- The interior color I used was MM Helgrun RLM. Used it on the M113 that I built before and everyone said it pretty close , so I just stuck with it.

Another thing I noticed, the 25mm ammo cans down each side of the hull, the ones laying down in the racks, should be black, not dark green. Sorry I didn't see them sooner. Here are interior shots of the M7 BFIST I just completed. (I think you replied in the original post.) Completed exterior shots should be up soon. http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=28123

Thanks again guys.

Gino- Appreciate you pointing that out. Should be easy enough to pop em back off and paint the cans. Need something to do while I search for a missing sprue. Of coarse it is the one with a whole side of roadwheels on it so I am pretty much stuck with out it.
