Heres another Bradley, this time 1/72 scale. DML's M2A2 with ERA, to some it up in one word-a masterpiece. The detail is super abd it goes together like a dream, this was really fun to build and was my first 1/72 model in several years. Model prior to painting, although since these photos were taken I have primed it. I hope to do a few more of these neat little modern AFV's in 1/72. Perhaps add an interior to one of these

For a 1/72 scale, thats quite alot of detail!

Do they even have 1/72 scale interiors for these little babies?

Great looking kit, Rob. And by showing this you lost most of my sympathies about why you are not able to finish your 1:35 Bradley on time... :-) :-) :-)

Cheers
Erik

Good job Rob!

I have all the Dragon Bradley's and the are nice.

This one is one of the first ones that came out with Legend and Czech Masters add on's.


It does give you a break from the 1/35th stuff. You might want to try the Dargon Hummers, those are sweet little kits. And like you said, it only takes a day or two to put one together.

Oh Jeremy, sorry buddy, no interiors for these babies, but lots of accessories.

Neat dio Pete-the Iraqis did a good job of stripping that M1A1! :-) hehe. I hope to get a few more of these, the Humvees look quite attractive especially with the warriors crew.

The Little bradley is crying out for an interior and to be honest it doesnt look too hard to make a rough interior.

Your right Rob. At that scale, you don't have to add all the little details as if you where building a 1/35 vehicle.

No 1/72 scale armor that I've seen, just wingy things. Heck, my local HL has sworn off military models it seems as the only things you can find now are planes and cars.

I like the look of those kits though, will take a look and see if I can find any for cheap at the show this weekend. Last year I did fairly well in the 1/72 scale deals.

Hey Moezilla,

What part of Texas are you from? If you're reasonably close to H-town, I know of 2 great hobby shops.

One is @ I45 & FM1960 in Humble, the other is just south of Hobby AP off of 59.
