James,

Looks great so far!

But a M2A3 Bradley, a WWII Jeep, and a V-1 Buzz Bomb in the same picture is quite a combination!! Now if only you were building a M6 Linebacker!!!

Show us additional views of your Bradley so far, and then more as you make additional progress!

It looks very nice but could you tell us a bit more and place more photos?

I quess it's the Verlinden ERA with scratch and parts from the Legend A3?

I'll post more pics tonight. It's the Academy M2A2, Verlinden armor panels and the legends A3 upgrade with lots of scratch building and leftover PE stuff. Built this whole thing in a tiny hotel room while off for trainig for 7 weeks. Still have a ways to go on it before paint.

Looks pretty good.
Keep on posting James, it's a nice project. I guess you'll change the tracks of the Academy kit.

Tracks, yes, maybe Fruel, and I am seriously thinking about doing the non-skid across the whole thing to. Not in any hurry I have about 10 other projects going at the same time. I live in Alaska so I build all winter and paint in the summer whe the weather warms up a bit.

Looking pretty good. I have the Legend M2A3 conversion set as well. It looks good in the box, now I see how good it looks on the model. As you probably found out, the Verlinden ERA set is imcomplete. They left off the mounting rails, and the front and rear ERA blocks on each side. I have the Blast ERA set. It is very nice and complete. It even comes with new headlight clusters and some other additional pieces. For the tracks, I have the AFV Club indi-link set. I highly recommend them. They look great and go on easily. I personally can't justify Fruils and don't see the great appeal to them. To each their own though. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Looking great so far.

I'll give the AFV club tracks a try, the Fruel's do cost a lot. I know the Verlinden set is incomplete but I got it in a trade a few years ago. I also got the Bradley a year or two ago hoping that someone would come out with an A3 upgrade. The legend set is also somewhat incomplete but I've been trying to remedy that as I go along. I really screwed up the dog house and I'm figuring out a way to fix it without destroying the rest of the turret. I recently got a book called Bradley Company, and it's a god send to anyone building the M2A3 or M3A3. I'll post more pics as soon as I get more work done to it. Thanks to everyone for the kind words, it helps keep me motivated on this beast. Also, this thing is heavy as hell with all the resin!
