I'm taking a break from Vietnam era stuff and trying my hand at some modern armor, in particular an M2A2 ODS Bradley.

I've got the Eduard interior set and from what I've been able to gather today's Bradleys are using the SINCGARS radios. I'm thinking about picking up the Pro Art Models radios but haven't been able to find any info as to exactly what the setup would look like inside the Bradley and which of the Pro Art radios to use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there is a two stack radio mount, as in the Pro Art set, behind the TC in the turret. You can see the empty mounting bracket below.


More turret pics here, in MAJ Rob's Motorpool too.

Basically all US military ground vehicles have used SINCGARS since the early '90s.
