Greetings Erhan,

Nice to see you at it again and with a modern subject. The overall colour looks near perfect and is weathered very well. You're shading and detail painting is top notch and I particularly like how well the small ammo boxes on the turret basket turned out. Overall excellant except that I feel the tracks and rubber on the road wheels are too dark.

I have one of these, but the ERA version, in the stash so it's good to see a similar one built. What colour did you use for the sand colour? I have a M2A3 with ERA partially built but I can't find a suitable colour. Thanks for sharing,

Cheers,
Jan

you are right about road and rubbers Jan . I think I'll correct
I used Vallejo paints. 70819 Iraqui sand. Nice color for this vehicle..

thank you for your comments.

ps : I am ready for a new braille scale campaign:)

Hi Erhan,

Good job with this Bradley. You should put it on a base with some figures.

Extremely nice Bradley there, Erhan. Compared to some, the colour of the base vehicle looks near perfect and the weathering very appropriate. How was it to build? I wish someone would do a build review or Blog of one of these vehicles. I have a Trumpeter version in my stash and that looks kind of intimidating. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
AJ

@erhntly – Erhan,

Nice job on the Bradley. Jan is right about the dark wheels and tracks. . I find that black is a good base color to start with. I then go over them with light oil washes of browns (allow to dry overnight) and then proceed to apply pigments followed by using differing shades of silver pencils for highlighting worn metal areas.

Happy Holidays,
~ Eddy

Thank you dear friends for your helpful comments.

Tracks should again. I painted with Vallejo track primer. But it wasn't enough...I must take the time to continue.

Happy new year..

Best Regards..
