Well, found one of the Ultimate Soldier Bradleys ... in 1/6th scale.

When I end up getting it ... I'd like to "convert? it into the ODS version, circa 2003-6.

Is my best course of action to "scale-up" the Tamiya M2A2, together with Vodnik's article on correcting the 1/35th scale kit?

Suggestions, please?

One thing to keep in mind is that the "1/6 scale" Bradley is actually closer to 1/8 or so. The best plan of attack will probably be to scale up, eyeball and test fit as you go.

If things get a little rough, don't forget that these were designed as toys and not scale models.

Sounds like a fun project. I used some of the detail parts and the running gear (yeah I know it's not the same) from one of those Bradleys to do a 1/6th scale M113.

Good luck!
