I'm just so amazed with the turret work. My gosh, he even added the TDB (Turret Distibution Box) in the turret. I wish he took some better photo's of the interior of the turret. I would like to see if he got everything right inside it.
But your right Olivier, I'm not gonna give up just yet.

Looks great. Don't worry Pete, we all could do that well too, if we had the time. It is just a matter of how much work you want to put into it.

That guy done a lot of pretty good work, I just wonder why he left off the tow bar, cause it will need one with an engine.

My gosh, loads of PE parts, styrene sheet usage AND copper wire work. Even the interior ceiling was covered.
Call me bias though but i still like Gino's interior. Perhaps the look of TOW missles has a better appeal to me. Although i am aware that this one isnt fully painted so there may be more that meets the eye.
Its simply out of this world though.

The best damn Bradley you will ever see. The interior is near perfect and has pretty much every single detaial added. I cant believe it, I think I might put mine in the bin, my interior looks useless against this. He has even built a new floor and turret case, not using the old Tamiya one-thats dedication! Im determined to finish mine now and get it all detailed up-at least then I will feel a bit better. Just a note however-all the Bradleys ive seen built on here have been equally as sweet and the most important thing is you enjoy building it, no matter how detailed you make it or how accurate it is just have fun! But this is some seriously nice modelling.
Lets hope this guy will share with all us Bradley geeks how he did it and what reference he used.

Is it just me or does it seem like there is a recent Bradley fever going around? With all the ones being built for the Modern Armor Campaign and now this, it feels like the Brad has once again become the newest rage.
All thoughts put aside, that damn thing looks like I could hop in it and just go! Am I right or what Pete? But one question, what are those two copper wires that run through the troop compartment? I dont recall ever having to deal with any "plumbing" hanging in that area.

It's probably some of the como wireing that runs underneath the upper hull. He probably just didn't attach them yet since the upper hull is not on.

I am truly amazed too. He is one of those hard-core modern modelers in Korea. He is the same Kim, Hyoung-Min who built the incredible looking M60A1 in Missing-lynx. http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/modern/m60a1_hymin.html
I can definitely invite him over here if I can get his contact info. I can write and read Korean.
And for those of you who are wondering what the heck he wrote on the front page- translation goes:
"I was busy taking care of my infant child and barely got time to put up photos. I want to build models more when I am busy than when I have time in hand. I will continue building this whenever some time frees up."
"I also put photos up on Missing Lynx and put some introduction there, too. My English is poor so please understand."

That's simply the best Bradley interior I've ever seen ANYWHERE. Bar none!
Only one guy I know personally and VERY few I've seen here or elsewhere could do work of that quality.
If his attention to painting detail is equal to his attention to building/adding detail and if he is not just going to slap a heavy coat of paint, some silvered decals, and drench in a sloppy dark wash over all that work then toss in some random accessories, this will will be as near 1/35th scale perfection as I've ever seen.
In my book this is modeling on a higher plane, right up there with Lee Loyd's Tiger.

Great details, but, in the below turret pic, he has series 46 radios in it. They haven't been used since the early to mid '90s. Wondering when it is supposed to be from.
As to the red-orange dots, I think he hits the bolt heads witha marker so he can see them and count/verify they are all there. Looks like they are standarad hex rod or resin bolts. Highlighting them just makes it easier to see them all.

Mike, I guess you have not seen his M60A1 in Missing-lynx. I expect his painting skills to be superb also. He writes that he has been working on this since the fall of 2004.
There are more photos of his models (M2A2 IFV, Paladin, M270 MLRS) in his gallery- click on the picture of camera when you see his photos.

When did the first issue of Maxim magazine come out again?
From ML constructive comments
"for the tips. I guess the camera shows some things/hides others. Interior has been washed/drybrushed/shaded ect. Same with soft gear. Silvering isn't visible with the naked eye either. Have to search the spares pile for some decals for the ammo cans, I noticed they looked kinda bare as well."

Yup, constructive comments. What is your point?
If you had read the previous posts or posted my whole response from M-L, you would have read that mine is an M2A2 ODS in OIF, so the Maxim is just fine. Also, I thanked the poster for the comments and agreed that the ammo cans needed stencils.
Do you still have an issue??

Just sent an email to his personal email address, inviting him. I will inform you once he replies me back. Hopefully, we'll have another master modern modeler joining and advising us.
