There is no A3 Bradley kit. The Academy kit is a copy of the Tamiya kits. The Tamiya kits come in 3 different variants:

1) M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle: original Bradley with interior, too bad they left out the turret detail and engine compartment.
2) M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle: original CAV version of the Bradley. This kit differs from the above kit by the deletion of the interior. It uses optional parts that cover over the side firing ports.
3) M2A2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Includes a sprue that replaces the M2/3 and M2A1/M3A1 armor sides with the uparmored type seen on Desert Storm Bradleys.

The 3 Tamiya kits are basically the same kit with a sprue added or subtracted.
