A few more bits and pieces and touch-ups, throw the tracks on, dust it up a little bit, and I can call this one finished. 100% OOB.








































Thanks for watching,

Very nice!! I built this one too. I enjoyed it. I like the different color era blocks. I plan to build 3-4 more Bradley's.

Congrats on a nice build.

Thanks, Dustin. The fit could be better, but it's a quiet good kit, especially if you consider the price (I've payed around 25 Euros, including shipping from the far east)...

Here are a few pictures of mine if you'd like to see.

Some trouble with the pictures, I'm posting them again...

This is looking nice Israel. I have this kit as well but I've yet to find time to build it. Anything you want to share that can help regarding your in progress? I see you mentioned that fit could be better, so is that regarding whole kit or some parts of it? Any errors I should be concern with....in the kit or instruction? TIA

Hi Mike,
Overall, fit is good, however some parts could be better. Particularly I had some trouble fitting the add-on armor on the sideskirts, especially those triangle things on the rear.

Here you can find a detailed build review. I second pretty much everything in it. Pay particular attention to what's written about attaching the roadwheels! I did not, and that had a price...

I too have this kit and yet to start it also. Has Orochi done any other kits ? It would be a shame that they were one & done. Thanks for the link and sharing your build with us !

Orochi is gone. The molds for the M3A3 have been bought by Kinetic and are being reworked/improved. They hope to release the improved Kinetic version with corrections and some new features (such as T161 tracks) by the first of the year. It should be a vast improvement over the original Orochi kit. They also have other versions planned for the future.

Here is my build review of the Orochi kit on Armorama as well.

Thanks for the update Gino !

Gino tells us about the future versions!

I haven't seen any CAD or anything concrete for the future versions, but they have talked about an M7A3 BFIST and an M6A2 Linebacker as possibilities.

Thanks Gino.

On a side note, Hobby easy has the Standard Orochi kit for $15!! I may have to pick up another one.

Yepp, I've bought mine from HE as well for the same reason...

Excellent Build on this Bradley. The Multi colored blocks brake up the monotone color scheme very nicely. The weathering looks very good.
