Hers some more progress on my M2A2 project( for modern armor campaign) The interior hasnt got far to go now. Just need to add more cables and wiring and a few more junction box's and crew intercom controls then its almost finished. The turret interior is next and that is a real pig becuase my sources are no brillaint and theres lots of the detail, im using the Eduard set which isnt bad but has some shortcomings. Ive added some detail to the drivers area, theres still a lot to do there. Anyway is coming along, next will be the exterior details. I have re built the rear with the correct spaced stowage box mountings, and I copied Olivier with the opened stowage box. Ive also corrected the side skirts. Anyway heres the pics... Thanks for looking.

It's turning really great Rob. The work you did inside is tremendous and I understand why you feel turning mad with the turret.

Keep on this excellent job. Don't forget the interior of your open rear stowage box. I should have one picture or two of it, if need be.

Rob,
It looks like me and you are gonna be the ones to come in last on the Bradley build.

The kicker is that I'm not even putting an iterior in mine, it's all the missing stuff on the outside.

Don't know if you got these for your references, but these are of the Bradley I have here, thought they might be of use to you.





Good looking Bradley!!!!!!!!

Hey, where's the turret interior? All that work warrants a full turret too.

Just kidding. Looks like it is coming along great. Can't wait to see it painted up.

Keep up the good work.

Patience Gino!!! I did start the turret work but got annoyed with it so left it for a while.
Thanks for all the comments guys! I do have the bottom pic Pete but not the top one-thanks! Does the M2A2 have a shorter dashboard? From one pic I had it appeared to only have a dash on the left side, maybe its just a poor pic???

Same basic wrap-around instrument panel/dashboard on all Brads; M2A0, M2A2, M2A3, M3A2, etc.
