Looks like the TUSK modifcations for the M1A1 are now in the field. Missing Lynx has some good pictures of it. Hope at somepoint we get a kit of this from Dragon or an aftermarket outfit. Not sure if this link will work or not...

On another note regarding this thread, is it me or does the ERA boxes on the Bradley look bigger than the normal ones?

I was just thinking the same thing about the Bradley ERA--I wonder if they have fielded a newer, thicker ERA add-on package. Anybody know for sure?

They've been in country for a couple months - I remember reading in Janes. Definitely the first pics I've seen though, great find!

Guys, I just found the manual out in our bay this morning. I will go through it and post what information I can about it with out overstepping security issues. It's the parts and maintence manual.

I haven't gone through the whole manual yet, but it looked liked it did.

I wonder how long it will take for Dragon to do a kit with the upgrades. And new individual Magic Tracks.

And from the smartass SWMBO, does it come with new cup holders? Women.
