Hi all,

I posted in the RRB some pics of my project. This is the Tamiya ODS Bradley that I started detailing thanks to Vodnik's article and EPI's pics ans drawings. I want to represent an older M2A2 upgraded to the ODS standard not a factory new one. It will have the fluted barrel and will serve in KFOR.
I still have a lot to do but it's beginning turning good (to me :-) ). I redid the whole back wall to address the major flaw of this kit. For the fun, I've presented a stowage bow open.
The front armor plate has been started too. As Vodnik states it has a lot of tiny parts to add more or less linked to the swim barrier brackets.
I 'll represent the new driver hatch hinge as wel as the new gunner hatch. I still don't know if I'll do the work platform or not. I must confesse that I haven't pictures of this area enough so far to help displaying the new tool rack layout.

Any comment welcome.

Olivier,
I'll be doing some research on the tool layout today while I'm here at work. Gonna be a slow week. I'll be going throught the "operator's" maunal and the parts manual. I'll post or send you what I find.

Pawel,
If you read this, feel free to take the pages from the parts maunal I posted for Olivier and add it to your article.

Thanks in advance Pete.
I'll be off the web for a fortnight, no connection where I spend my holidays, no modeling as well
These will be hard times.

If you don't mind, please send your findings to my mailbox.

Here you go Olivier!
This first one is the load plan for the rear bins. Since you have the left one open, thought this might help out.


Here are the load plans for the upper hull.




Thought this might be of some use, since your doing a KFOR Bradley.
