I really donīt know where to start. I donīt think you should feel any embarrasment for the comments praising you because to say they are very well deserved is an understatement. This has to be the best I have ever seen without a doubt. I must add that it would be a shame to cover up so much work with paint but lots of people here will have a variety of opinions on the subject. Have you considered having resin copies of some of your work to have a painted & an un-painted version?; or maybe even to market resin copies of some components. You probably have here people just hoping for that because the the time & skill to achieve these results is beyond the reach of many. You are a real genius. It is a pleasure to see your work. I can only add that a personal reply isnīt absolutely necessary because I wouldnīt want to take your time away from what you are sharing with us.

Hello. Mike Burkinshaw
First of all, Thank you so much for your concern.
I am perfectly happy for your highly praise. and your comments encourage me in doing my best!
I really like this Bradley. I want to have real vehicle. But I know well that is impossible. and then I have made my model in this way.
And I think that I will finish my Bradley with NATO 3camouflage tone paint for perfect in model M3A2 Bradley CFV. Please understand me.
I'll have a try that I make resin copies of some of my Bradley if I get a chance to make that.
Again Many Thanks and Good luck to you.

Great work, man! Somehow I've managed to miss this thread until now. I'm definitely impressed. It's serendipitous as well. I think after seeing your thread revived, a few other guys may want to scratch that rear hatch on their own, as it would certainly be an easy job compared to what you've done.

hey Kim, I am just wondering how you built the cargo hatch in the back. did you build it yourself, or is there a kit that you purchased since the hatch is diffrent from an Infantry Bradley.

Hi
The small screw is just red sprues that I have been using. They are either really thinly stretched out sprues or cut in tiny pieces. I use them for tiny parts because they're easily noticeable.
