I keep hoping that some one would bring out a 1/16th scale Bradley, but since that is not likely to happen, I figure it may be time to try my hand at scratch building it.

I am looking for line drawings or blue prints for the M2 Bradley. I've done several searches and haven't come up with anything yet. If anyone has any hints of where I can find this sort of thing, please let me know!

Thanks

Don

I know it might not be much but you could try http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m2.htm. They have a basic line drawing along with some pictures that may help.

Sgtreef - Thank you, I sent that gentleman an email to see if he can give me a direction to go. Impressive work on his site to say the very least!

Phoenix-1 - I had already gone to FAS and although they do have some useful information, the line drawings are not detailed enough.

Thanks for the help so far!

Hi Don

There's a 1/35 scale 5-view drawing of a M2A2 in Concord's "Bradley, Backbone of the U.S. Mechanized Infantry" by Walter Böhm and Peter Siebert. Unfortunately, it represents a ERA-fitted Bradley, so some details are hidden behind the ERA blocks

BTW I'm still interested by M58 pics...

Squadron/signal Publications has a book called M2/M3 Bradley in action it is Armor Publication Number 30 (1992). It has drawings and real pictires of the A0, A1 and A2. Also has pictures of engines inside turret, troop compartment and drivers compartment.
