Talking about the sight I guess that Kim wants to know how do the parts behind the protective glass look...as the kit "dog house" is empty.

Truly amazing work Kim. I almost don't think you should paint it. It looks so amazing already. Ah go ahead and paint it. I'm sure it will only make it better.

Hey Gino. You've got one beauty of a Bradley yourself too. Glad to see you took some pictures of it outside. IMO that is the best way to take pics of your model when it is all done. Can't beat the look of real sunlight.

We have some very talented people here on this site. Very inspirational.


Hi Matthew.
First of all, Thank you very much for your concern and such high prase.
I will fininsh my Bradley as soon as possible for you.
Best regards.

You're welcome ! I'm a non-Anglophone too Talking about Chris' post about the "deer in the headlight look" I think he means that he's staring at your very impressive built with wide-open eyes (he's not the only one !) just like a deer that would be caught in the headlights beam of a car while crossing a road..

Well. Are you means that what I have installed radio set (eduard PE parts) is used by M3A2 Bradley in the 90s?



Yes, the radio you have installed was used in the early to mid-'90s. It is fine for a early '90s M3A2 CFV.

Thanks for the compliments on mine as well. Glad I was an inspiration.

Kim,
No problem, got what your looking for. I have an ISU(Intergrated Sight Unit) torn apart in the cage back at work. None of what your asking for is considered sensitive items, so I can take pictures of it for you. The only thing I ask is if you can wait a little while for the pics. I just came back off of deployment and I wont be back to work till next week, possible two weeks. But I can definately get you what your looking for.

In the mean time let me see if I have the parts manuals.

Hi Kim,
I love your build And I watch with eager anticipation on you finishing the Bradley. I have several of these to build and will try to follow a lot of what you have done so far but I don't believe it will be anywhere as good as yours. Inspiration is a wonderful thing. Keep it up and good luck and happy future model builds.
Kenny.
P.S. I have the new Tamiya Abrams OIF and a load of aftermarket extras for it, can you help me with any hints or tips for detailing it please.
Kenny.

Pete, what do you mean back off of Deployment, I thought we were gonna ride this boat to the end, I am now 5 months down, got a few more to go. I am going to Master Gunner School sometime next year so hopefully I'll get out of here a little sooner than the rest of my unit. Glad to see you made it back safely.

Hi Kenny.
First of all , Thank you very much for your commendation.
And I'm sorry that I can't many hints or tips for detailing your Abrams because I have poor ability of english presentation.
Accoding to my case, I have been collected real vehicle data from various kinds of website, magazine, etc for about 1year before building my M3A2.
And I have been looked at those. Then I have been building my Bradley with PASSION for my Bradley looks like real vehicle! This is my tip.
If you demand me to provide concrete detail pics of my building, I will give you with pleasure.
Again thanks.
Kim HM.

Absolutely phoenominal. I started to do a bradley once with the intention of going to the same effort that you did and quite honestly, it very nearly sent me to the mad house. I take my hat off to you, for you are a god amongst men. Just one thing that you are missing, A girlfriend.

Kim, do you have a real Bradley there in your house? Simply amazing!

Good news Kim! I have an ISU(Integrated Sight Unit) taken apart in my vault at work. Thursday I have to do an inventory of my vault and I will take some pictures for you of the inside of the ISU so you can finish that part up. Should be real simply becasue all it is is a refelctive mirror and a lense that looks like a big eye.
