Hello. Rob Harvey, Jeff Nelson and Jaymes Croether.

I appreciate your visiting my blog and I'm very embarrassed in your praises.
And then I have had a plan of writing a book and making a resin based bradley FUP.
But, probably, It would be taken a long time to finish it.
I will start the plan after I finish my bradley.

Always many thanks!!!

Kim.

Hi all

Here are few photos related to decals of my own making.

I'm afraid I'm still very busy nowadays and I haven't painted much to my Bradley.
But I posted my Bradley's recent pic's which was painted on my blog and cafe.
Please visit and see my blog.












Many thanks.

Kim.

Hi Kim,

I to have had to make up my own Caution and Warning labels. By taking ones time and searching the net one can find a lot of labels that look just like most of the labels in the bradly.
An Mite I say "Magnificent" paint and weathering Master Kim!

Kim, your model is amazing. I have operated a Bradley before and your Bradley looks just like a real one. In fact the Bradley I had was while I was stationed in the Republic of Korea. Great Job!

Hi Capin

You seem to make your bradley well.
If you need the labels, let me know that and I'll send the file to you.
Thank you.

Only one problem in sending me files. If it's in any othere form than a PDF I can't open it. But the decal sheet would help out a lot. I still have yet to resize the full 1:1 size labels to 1/35. So your help would be much appreciated.

Hi Joe.

First of all, Thank you very much for your concern and It's my pleasure to meet you on this web. Especially, I'm very happy to know that you have the experience of operating bradley in Korea.
When you have been in Korea? and Were you a crewman?
Thanks!

And now I'm in my workplace, I'll send you the files when I go back my home.
Please let me know your e-mail address.
