Newest pics, I'm working on it, but very slow,because I'm very busy looking for information about some points
I've got some video images from US Army Recruiting, very, very useful. Thank you You Tube

Very nice. The engine looks great so far. I really like the turret door and its details too.

Thank you, Gino.
What do you think what are the tubes that are in the engine compartment? Did they're drainage system?
Moreover, in case anyone knows: The fire extinguisher located in the driver's area, behind the computer, Will it vertically or horizontally?
Another question: Does anyone know the connections between the outdoor compressors and split air conditioning how they perform? I mean, Where they enter the vehicle, and what is its length. I only have a picture in which the split you go away, and it's not clear to me.

Nice looking model.
Does the Bradley have a over-pressure system?

Looking great so far. Lots of details on the inside. I don't remember, are you leaving the top off? If not, most of the details will not be seen.
I have started mine as well. You can check it out here. I am back-dating the Meng M2A3 to an M2A2 ODS used in Iraq during the invasion of '03.
No, it has a centralized scrubber system that blows cleaned air in hoses that hook up to a mask the crew wears. The GIBs (Guys In Back) wear standard gas masks.

Thank you, Gino .
Indeed, I intend to let the top lifted, fixed on a steel wire .
The turret , I think putting it on a separate support , as if it were in the workshop. And all the information that I seek , it seems to me that I will also be hard work .
Of course I have followed your work. In fact , I have included in my favorite , your Photobuckets

Thank you for the link.
I knew that work, and this was what inspired me to do the mine.

Thanks Gino, rarely used the over-pressure system on the M1's as they were meant to.

After thinking about it for a while, I have decided to modify the old transmission, so this is the new type.
