I need some images from the interior of a OIF M2A2. I would like to get some detail pics of the rear bench-type seats.
I found a couple shots looking in from the rear door but any facing straight at them would really help.
Also, if anybody has some images from inside the turret, I'd love to see those as well.
Thanks...

Turret shots here at MAJ Rob's Motorpool. There aren't many pics of the interior of an M2A2 ODS with bench seat out there. They are basically the same as M113 troop seats with a back rest on the track overhang behind the seat portion.
Here is a pic that gives you an idea of how the seats look.

I found that one already but thanks anyway Gino. I don't think the seats will be all that hard to make from what I can see there but was still hoping to find a different angle.
Thanks for the link to the turret pics, that should help.
I searched off of the other link and ended up finding a fairly good image in case anybody else was looking...

Kory, very nice link, thanks!
About the M2A2 ODS Bradley interior, this M113 like seats are the standard nowadays or the old singles seats are still used? (or this kind of configuration is only for the old M2/M3-A1s)?
Very nice for my future project....
Bye,
Marcelo

Those are some nice interior pic's they'll come in handy when I do my M2A2. I got the M2 w/ interior and are going to scrap build the parts useing them as a guide.
I can not wait to see your model webfoots. Did you see the M2 with that shooting missile it's increditable. I am going to try and copy that. It might be my 1st contest entry if I ever go to a contest. It just blow my mind.

I have a mess of pictures of the Bradley I have in my bay outside my office. Its a M2A0+, but the turrets the same as a M2A2. I have pictures of whats behind the door inside the turret, where the 7.62 coax goes also. Pictures are taken from inside the turret and from outside, underneath the turret.

The M113 style bench seats are the newer upgrade. Some M2A2 ODS still have the individual seats, but most have been upgraded to the bench style.

We have about 5 Brads on our FOB here, kinda odd since we are a cav regiment. But I'll see if I cant take some interior photos for you guys and post them up in my gallery once I get a day off.
