Here is my latest, an M7 Bradley Fire Support Team (BFIST) vehicle. I converted it from the Tamiya M2A2 ODS with M2 interior as a base. The fire support station is scratch built with scratch chair, IFSAS computer and printer on top. All that is left on the interior is to fill it full of stowed gear. Turret interior is completely scratch-built with plastic card and bits and piece sof resin. The lower turret tub is from a left over pill bottle. The engine is converted from a Tamiya W. German Marder 1A2 IFV engine (compliments of Paul Truhe, ptruhe). SINCGARS radios from Real Models set (compliments of Matt Leese). The rest is all made by me. The exterior of the vehicle has also been updated and corrected from the info on Pavel's (Vidnik) site. Hope the exterior comes out as nice as the interior has. I'll post more pics once completed. It will be in markings of 3ID in Iraq once completed, 1-10 FA. What do you all think.
