Here is my latest, again, with nice, clear pics. 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. Turret interior is completely scratch-built with plastic card and bits and pieces of 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.
The decals were custom made on my printer taken from images off the internet for warning and danger placards.
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.

Without further ado.








Gota love a good camera.

Gino, looks great so far. Dont forget to drill out the front of the manlet where the 25mm shells eject. I have seen some great builds of Brads and a lot of folks either dont know about the ejection port of forget to drill it out. Looking forward to the finished product. "Q"
