Jesus H. Christ, that's all I can say. Hands down, I think this will be the best Bradley on the site let alone, in the entire 1/35 hobby world

Hi Mario.
First of all, I appreciate your corncern!
And there's no measuring way in particular but I just have been making a rough estimate
of my model. and I have used the body and specified things such as jerricans and
rifles on the pictures by reference point. In other words, when I measure some things which I want to make, I have been using reference point like I said before because I have no vehicle design drawings. And I'm going to make everything for my bradley as far as
possible. Maybe, I couldn't make another model in the future.
Thans again.
Best regards.
Kim

Hi Scott and Joe and Steve.
I sincerely appreciate your concern and I'm afraid I hardly deserve such your high praise.
I will do my best because I like bradley CFV.
Thanks again and best regards.

Kim I am simply lost for words-your scratch building work is simply outstanding, with every update I am amazed more and more! Really fantastic!!
Can I ask what references you are using as well? Do you possibly have any links? Im thinking of re-doing my M2A2 with full interior and could do with some better references.

Man this is to much can you stop please, this thread is killing me
BTW You should start to make a copy of this engine in silicon and replicate in resin, since it is one of the best Bradley engine ever seen
and also start a company
What is the green plastic stuff special one
You should start to think of an feature article here.
No more word big congrats

First of all, I wish your M2A2 bradley which is under your making plan should go on very well.
And I have refered to many websites such as armorama and primeportal, etc.
Can you tell me your e-mail adress. I will send my bradley photo filles.
Have a nice day!
Best regards.

Hi Seb.
Actually, I think this engine is a little big copared with engine space of kit.
If such a thing should have to do, I would begin my work again.
And green plastic stuff is electric rubber hoses(?) which is flexible and shrinking materials by heat or fire.
Again many thanks and best regards.

This engine seems big about 10% in my opinion.
When I had set this engine at engine and transmission space of kit, I knew that was big compared with photos of real one.
I'm going to post comparative pics which have a point of difference between real vehicle and my model afterwards.
Anyway, I appreciate your concern.
Have a nice day!

Kim fantastic work. Instead of building another one why not just build a M88 doing an engine pull on your Bradley http://www.army.mil/factfiles/equipment/tracked/m88a2.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:M88_pulling_M1_engine.jpg
I think the engine you've built is every bit as interesting on it's own, why hide it away inside an engine bay, show it off!
Just a thought

First of all, I sincerely appreciate your good links.
Well, I really like Bradley CFV/IFV and I wanted to make this perfectly as much as I can.
Especially, I wanted to build interior, engine and transmission of bradley thoroughly.
Actually, when I finish this, most part of engine should not be seen but I should like this.
And I want to make another MLRS in status of tilting cap and exchaning engine.
Again thanks for your concern.
