Nice work Gino. Do you intend to represent the turret interior as well ?
I like all the details and your personal touch. Will it be sand colored ?

Wow i really like the way you did the floor of the interior. Looks like you dry brushed it with a few colours to give it that dirty look?
The girlie mags were a nice touch. Any plans for figures to be placed into the interior?
I know you doing this for a customer but are you placing this into the Modern Armor Campaign?

Gino, are the details to a customer specification? What I mean is, are you building this to represent the customer's track in Iraq? If not, and it's upto you, how bout scratching a model of a model Bradley and placing it on top of the modelling mag?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I like the way this one is turning out too.
Olivier,
No turret or driver's interior on this one, only the troop compartment in the rear. Customer wants it in a dio with some troops dismounting from the vehicle. There will be one guy on the ramp coming out and some others behind it on the ground. TC will be up and scanning as well. All other hatches will be closed. It will be a sand 3ID Brad as well.

hi Gino!
Awesome work! Is this the Tamiya ODS Bradley kit? Is the interior scratch or aftermarket?

Thanks Matt. It is the Tamiya M2A2 ODS kit. The interior is from the Academy M2 kit (a copy of the original Tamiya M2 kit). It just drops in since it is still the same hull. Check here for a better description of the build so far. Should be done with it soon, will post completed pics then.

awesome, thanks. I have the same ODS kit but was kinda disappointed with the lack of interior. I didn't know that about the Academy, thanks for the tip!

Wonderful work. Amazing detail. Keep the pictures coming. I have one of these on the shelf. Not sure if I will be able to match yours though.

Thanks Ted. I'm sure yours will come out looking great as well. It is actually done already, check in the Armor forum and the On-Display Feature for pics.
