Looks good, I'm also working on an ODS, I'm trying to convert Tamyia's version to a full up ODS.

I'm on my second hull right now due to a goof on my part which now makes it a candidate for the AMEV:



Or the LOSAT missile carrier

I'm thinking of just sanding and filling the area where that sorry excuse of a swim barrier is and probably cram some misc gear (cots, tow bar, stretcher, etc) along there once it's all together.

I'm currently working on the rear bulkhead, and I reutilized part of the rear I sawed off (I'll post a pic once Photobucket is back up)

Thanks, glad you like it. Interested to see how your AMEV or LOSAT comes out. Good luck.

The interior is from the original issue Tamiya and Academy M2 Bradley kit. It can be built as I have done, as an older version with individual seats, or midified to latest M2A2 ODS upgrades with bench seats down the sides of the hull.

Hey Gino,

Any chance you could write up a feature for the Bradely that you are creating? I know you have been posting its progress in the Rivet Review forum but it'd be nice to have the entire process in one article.

Believe me when i say this but such an article will be the added to my modelling bible which is coupled with the rest of the information i collected from the Osprey books.
