Was there ever any M2A3 BUSK III Bradley's in NATO three tone with sand color BUSK upgrade?

Thanks,
Dustin

Hey Dustin,

I'm no expert but have one vehicle posted pic in my blog link below and a few more in my stash, so they're not uncommon. I don't have any specific vehicle details though so if you need that level of vehicle detail someone else will have to chime in ....

cheers
Brent

That one is M2A2.

Brent,
Neither of those pictures are of a M2A3 Bradley. There is 1 picture with 2 M2A2 with BUSK.

The M2A3 (wich are CAV vehicles) with NATO 3 color are in Germany and Korea and do not sport the full BUSK. The only thing you will see is the TC's window protection around his hatch.

Dustin,

Never personally saw a three tone A3 all BUSKed up but that is not to say a few didn't exist? Personally I think an A3 three tone with tan BUSK would look pretty slick! EAS Bradley's and Abrams shiped with tan paint and were sprayed three tone in Germany and extra parts shipped such as armor usually ship in tan now a days. Go for something different!

Sorry Dustin, my mistake. The Nato/Tan Busk pictured is an A2 with no CITV fitted as Pawel corrected.

Thank you all so much for the comments.

Although it appears that the vehicle I want to create doesn't exists.. I think I'll go ahead and do it anyways. Haha

Thanks again fellas. I really do appreciate it.

Dustin,
Go for it. One key note. Most of the new M3A3 NATO 3 color tracks were re-furbished from tan M3A2. My suggestion is when it comes to painting, paint the ramp, drivers, gunners and TC's hatch tan. Also paint around the openings of these hatches and ramp, then close it up and paint the NATO 3 color. When ramp and hatches are open, you will have that tan ring around looking like the real thing.

ohm I just noticed I was wrong in my reply above. The picture in Brents post are indeed M2A3 with BUSK. I have a MENG M3A3 on my desk waiting to be finished and that nomenclature popped into my mind.

Look up 2nd ID Bradley's in Korea for good reference
