If I wasn't speechless, I'd say "WOW" and "Holy S**t". That is so beyond words, it's just amazing work, Kim. Great job seems so weak, but it is a Great Job.

Hay Mr. Kim your blog is out standing!!! In your blog I sot to see things I was going to ask about and now I see just how some parts look and were they go or are located on the vehicle. I don't yet know if I'm going to build a full engine, but your Photos and scratch building photo will help me out if I do decide to build the full engine. Thanks for posting your blog link and all your photos. I'm working on my build to day, an I should have new photos up real soon.

GO look at his blog it's painted there!



Well, no it's NOT. As it says in english in his blog, that was M2A2 he built 6 years ago. This one: http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/modern/hmm2a2.htm

The one he's building in the blog, and this thread, is a M3A2.



Hi Gary

That's just thing. It's my former bradley.
And I hope that I will show my painted M3A2 to you as soon as possible.
Thanks again and Best regards.

Kim.

Thank you for reading and Have a nice day!!!.

I think the hardest job was to find reference photos for your Bradley and and match it to your model.That is of course if you don't have one in the back yard.

That's not a T72. It's a M84.


Yeah...I guess you are right, didn't notice the atmospheric sensor right above the gun.

It's still a nice blown up T72 variant.

I was too busy to make my bradley these days.
I posted the pic's related to remake of drivelines and make several things just now.
Especially, I ought to have remade the drivelines because my old ones are noticeably too thin compared with real ones.


Here are my works.
