I uploaded some interior photos of an M2A2 Bradley turret here: Turret.

Note that it is not in the same place as the old motor pool photos.

I just bought the Voyager PE set for the M2A2 Bradley, and that would be very helpful in my research.

Excelent pics and priceless references, as usual! Thanks a lot Rob!

One question: would there be any significant differences between interior on your photos and old M2 interior? I plan to build original Tamiya M2 kit with complete interior, using all Eduard sets.

Rob,

great pictures, thanks for sharing them with us.

Pawel, I don't think there will be much difference between the M2 and the M2A2, as AFAIK the A2 was in general an armour update. Maybe Rob can confirm?

There's hardly a difference betwen the two as far as the turret interior are concerned. Main difference might be the radio mounts. If you look at Robs, it still has the old style radio mounts. The Bradley I have, has the new SINCGAR mounts in it.

Rob,
Your Bradley is just too clean!!!!!! I guess you got your troops keeping everything spit shined and polished!!!!

Pawel,
I have a M2/A0+ sitting right outside my office door in side the bay. I took several pictures a few weeks ago, but just havnt had the time to resize them and up load them. Its not as clean as Robs, but it is well worn and used.

Nice pictures, Sabot. Those will come in handy when I get around to building my Tamiya M2. With the interior, the kit's a bit of a daunting task!
