I recall there was vodnik's site which focused on the Tamiya release, but it seems to have disappeared. I'm looking into accurizing the Academy release. The text reviews I've seen have great info but since I haven't seen a real bradley in the flesh some sites with stage-by-stage shots would help.

Here it is :

Pawel's article deals with A2 variant but you still get valuable information to detail your Academy model which is a basic Bradley. The most interesting part of it, in my opinion, is the re-making of the rear panel.
If you're interested in, I built mine (A2) following Pawel's instruction. You can see the results in my site.
Here are some pictures





Good luck with your build !

i noticed this kit in the sales in the model shop whats it like?

THose are beautiful buildups. Thanks all!

I noticed that AFV club has a set of big foot tracks. Will these fit the Academy ODS release? Are the sprockets the correct type?

hi there ,, the afv tracks are beautiful, however the sprokets do not fit , or the tracks do not fit the sprokets and the sprokets are too shallow ,, im trying to get my hands on the blast models running gear set which addresses all the problems on the academy kit ,,, also be aware the assembly which attaches the drive sprokets to the hull are badly possitioned on the kit .. The top edge of the part should be parralle to the top ot the hull ,not at an angel and all the holes need to be filled (holes for motorization ) on the lower hull.. hope this helps ,, good luck

The sprokets on both the Academy and Tamiya M2s are too shallow in that the face doesn't go in deep enough. The placement of the sprocket teeth is correct though. I had no issues using AFV Club's tracks on them. They fit just fine.
