Looks awesome. Great job on the weathering. It looks very realistic. One small correction though. When the TOW box is up in the firing position, the doors on the Gunner's Primary Sight (GPS) should also be open. The GPS is the sight for both the TOW and the main gun/coax MG.
Thanks Gino forthe comments and the technical informations. I will modify my tow launcher, not a real problem!

Very nice job, Pascal.
I love the chipping effects on the rubber, it looks like the rubber parts do in real life when the CARC paint cracks and falls off of the rubber in large chips. Marvelous attention to detail makes the model come to life. I hope to do half as well on my Brad.

That's a fine looking build, and Meng certainly has given us a helluva kit.
I'm looking forward to seeing the interior - wondering if you've already done some of the things I plan.
One question: Can you show us a shot of the lip underneath the opened engine cover? Specifically the left side. (right side as you look at it) Thanks.

Thx Rob. I don't understand correctly your question; I put 2 pics :
For the interior, I don't improved it as we can see it anymore when all is finished. And take good interior pictures from the completed model is not possible.

Pascal you did a fab job on your Bradley. I know in the future, when I buy this kit, I'll come back to your build for reference and plenty of inspiration.
Nice work!

Very nice. How about some shots of the interior through open hatches and the rear ramp?
