It looks to be the same version. Maybe it will break down differently and allow you to build it w/out ERA or have some other options. We'll see.

Kinetic have obtained the Orochi Bradley. The kit will be improved by Kinetic and released at a more competitive price

I thought Orochi was owned by Meng, thus the Meng and Orochi Bradley were one in the same. Interesting.

I can confirm this. I didn't know it was common knowledge already. I actually have been helping Kinetic out with it and it should be nice when reworked.

The Orochi Bradley was designed by former employees of Meng, but Meng and Orochi are not the same company. Their two Bradleys are both M3A3 CFVs, but are not the same. They are very different in the level of details and quality.

It wasn't common, but it can be revealed now that Raymond posted the announcement.

I built the Orochi kit. Not bad, but it really wasn't much more than early 1990s detail. Fit was great, but a lot of simplification, like Gino said. Looking forward to what Kinetic can do.
