This is my contribution to the Thunder Run project for the Ft. Stewart/3rd ID museum. It Started life as the Tamiya ODS M2A2 Bradley. The kit goes together like most Tamiya kits nice and easy, but for this project I wanted a bit more. I turned to Vodnik's website on upgrading the kit. I did most of the corrections to the hull and the turret leaving out the ones to the rear of the hull. The stowage baskets are Eduard photo etch along with photo etch for the rest of the kit. The barrel and grenade launchers are from Voyager Models with the tracks being from Fruil, road wheels and stowage from Legends. I would like to thank Don Haney for painting the figure for me, he did an incredible job on him. The build took me over a year to complete, a lot of research went into it and I hope it will live up to the high standards set by the other builders in this project. Enough rambling i'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Thanks man. As far as the pink goes I think the orange filter did kinda pinkin it up a little from certain angles. There was a sand storm a few days before the Thunder Run that coated the vehicles with a orangeish sand. From pictures I've seen the whole sky was an orange color. The pictures where taken with my camera phone so they are not the best quality. Thanks again.

Thanks man, the marker lights are amber. It may be hard to tell in the pictures, one of them is covered in dust. They are actually some 3d decals I got off eBay.
