They retail for $99.99 so $80.00 is not bad. The box is huges and absolutely stuffed with plastic. The best part is that you will use just about every piece. The interiour and engine is a kit in itself. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Thanks for the info Rob, I'm still wondering how MENG missed this as they do and outstanding job of researching everything about the kit subject. Hopefully my review as well as others will help them fix this issue in the future. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Thanks for the feedback. I believe that the armor tiles would be left on as I have several researh photos showing this. I could be wrong. As for the unit lettering after some quick research (witch I missed on my review) you are correct. I can tell you that the markings that MENG provides are for the 2003-2005 time period. The M2A3 with BUSK III upgrade kit version did not operate in OIF until the 2008-2010 time period. The kit is by far a state of the art kit. MENG has really set the bar high on this one and to be honesrt there is not a kit out there that can compete with this kit of the Bradley. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Here is the MENG Bradley M2A3 with BUSK III kit that I did for IPMS as a review. The review has been summited to the Journal and hopefully will be in an upcoming issue. So for now here is a sneak peak as what is to come. Enjoy!

Welcome aboard!! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Wonderful build and dead on realism. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Nice job Rob! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Very cool,nice job! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Looking good! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Thanks Guys. It was good yo see you too Kevin, hope to see you at the Nationals too. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Is there somewhere posted the schedule of events for the Nationals. I cannot find anything on the web pafe. Mainly looking for what time model room is open each day, when does registration end, when is the banquet,when does the show end, etc.? Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Ya the box is big for sure, and you use every bit of the items in the box. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Hi Chris, thank for your words. Are you aware of some issues about this model? the interior color indication is wrong, so is the warning signs printed in paper, they are written in Pashto, one of the main languages in Afghanistan....where no Bradleys are deployed. Yes about the interior color I was aware. I used photo researh to find the correct color. Mixed up my own paint mix. As for the signs I was not aware of that. Good info for the review. Thanks. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Federico, Great build! Excellent detail work. I have this kit and am building it for a review for IPMS. I'm almost finished and will be summiting it to the Journal for publication as a review. That's all I can say for now so stay tuned! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Nice

Gasoline & Firecrackers, Works everytime!!! :m1helmet: Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Beautiful finish and build, you really make those StuG's look mean. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Mark, Love the fire engine! My favoret.. FYI - the USS Nimitz was CV-68, your model is of the USS John C. Stennis CV-74. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

My haul from this years AMPS International show held in Fredricksburg, VA. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Welcome Anthony! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

I will Thanks again you have been a great help. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Thanks Dennis for the tip. Sounds like working with two part epoxy putty from millput, will a lot longer working time. I think that is the real benifit here. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

I agree with Ron, if you can paint them off the vehicle then by all mean do it. Much easier and less chance of having touch up on the vehicle. Having said that I do trend to paint in place a lot as I use a lot of PE tie down and hold down clamps that really do not allow me to paint off the vehicle. So bottom line if you can paint off the vehicle do it, if not take your time and go slow. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

LMAO :Smile-tongue:

Dennis, Apoxie putty! I have never used this stuff but as you and others say it is great. I have a project on the bench that needs zimmerit, I think that I will order some and use it on it. Thanks for the feedback. And thanks for the enjoying my M48 build. I had a lot of fun building that one. Chris :Smile_sceptic:
