Wouldn't you know it, after all the work I did to correct Verlindens ERA, soem one else would come out with a set with all the corrections added. Yup, I just looked at BLAST MODELS mail order and they just added there own ERA for the Tamiya or Academy Bradley. From the picture, it looks to be correct. The missing peices are added and it looks like they modled on the head lights to the front armor. It looks like even the left headlight is even corrected.
The kit # is BL35065K and is listing for 22.57 EUR or $27.50 USD.
ERA Armor Set for M2A2 Bradley
I gonna put this on my wish list for when I come back from my 2 weeks training in June. This is gonna go on my A3 Bradley that I am gonna attempt to build.
HEY BLAST, I WOULD LOVE TO DO A REVIEW OF YOUR ERA AND COMPARE IT TO VERLINDENS!!!!!!!!! HINT, HINT! YOURS SEEMS TO BE RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Looks great. I'll have to add this one as well. It is cheaper than Verlinden's too. Go figure.

Mike,
Unless your lucky to have Blast Model at a show, it is best to go by it directly from Blast Models themselves. There service is excelent! Only bad thing is that you have to wait 10 to 12 days for delivery.
