Hey all!

This is my first post here. I'm busy building a 1/35 Tamiya M2 Bradley, well basically I'm finished, just busy with the last weathering.

Here are two pics of what it looks like so far. All comments / suggestions welcome....

Cheers
Quintin

Very nice Desert Storm era M2A2. I like the heavy dust on the surface. Our vehicles were constantly covered with a talcum powder-like dust.

Looks good from what I can see. See one thing that is incorrect though. On the left rear hull, there are 3 7.62 ammo cans. These should be dark green, not sand. Overall, captures the look of an ODS era M2A2 well. Good job.

Hello Quintin,

Very nice Bradley! I realy like it. The dust over the kit is realy very well done.

I have one of this kit waiting the line, but I think mine will be OIF Bradley.

Bye,

Marcelo

I agree with all the weathering. I can't say too much new as it all sounds the same. What I can say is that it is a beautiful build. I am working on one myself and am loving it.

Thanks for the critique, Gino, I'll fix them promptly!

Ciao!

Very nice...it seems to have just the right "feel" to it.

I love the M2, in real life and your model I see them everyday when I leave the house in the front gate of the base they are really cool looking. Very nice dust weathering. Keep up the good work. im out.
