JeffS Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 While I am on an Armor kick, here is my Tamiya M3A2 OOB. A very old kit but not to be overlooked. With the help of Archer Fine Transfers, the instrument panel is really dressed up. Overall finish was done in Polly Scale Olive Drab with a Testor's 1183 Rubber wash. Thank you for looking.

RobMorales Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Jeff, I got all excited when I saw "M3A2" thinking Bradley...then I saw it was the old WW2 bucket, but then I got excited again seeing the great job you did on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Rob, That got me thinking. You don't see many Bradley's in competition. I know after building over 2 dozen for the 11ACR guys, I never want to see another one. However, I wonder if people just don't like the kit.

RobMorales Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Mark, I think that since there are accuracy issues especially with the A2 versions and later, and that it's almost exclusive to US Army use and there are so many more really cool armor lits nowadays that the old Bradley just doesn't get the props that it's heavy armor stable mate Abrams gets. Personally, I like the Bradley, but I am not right... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHonanie Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) except I traded one of yours Mark :P But this a cool halftrack. Think it needs to put in the monthly members gallery Edited April 21, 2010 by GHonanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Jeff, I used those same instruments on my Beep. May not be accurate but they do make the panel stand out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffS Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys. I do also have two Bradleys in my collection. Both Tamiya. I'll get a couple for pictures in the near future. In regards to the Archer dials, there is enough on the sheet for four vehicles. So you gave me a good idea.
