M2 Bradley Reworked
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/9/5/8/233958-11813-95-720.jpg)
I wanted a plain forest green look, so some REFORGER markings were the only available option. Decals were lost long ago.

As the photos suggested - Bradleys were not the dirtiest vechicles there, so I tried to be moderate in weathering.

I'm not 100% happy with te mask job, but that was my first attempt at them. ALso towing cable proved to be a bit of a fuss.

Commander was planneed to liven up the M2, however plastic gave up while stripping the paint.

I replaced two broken M231 with Dragon M16 family ones.

Unfortunately as it was only a Tamiya rebox - no detailing decals were included, so they are not present here.

MRE ration boxes from the spares to make it a little more cluttered.

Main gun barrel is dedicated for the kit. I accidentally broke off the MG barrel and have to replace it. Surprisingly the one from soviet DT MG was almost identical and so it was put to a good use.

And a base. I need to respray the title.

And here's the first incarnation. Did many many years ago.

Okay, being 12 yo justifies it a bit. But I couldn't just scrap more or less completed model, only with a blotched paint job.

And some rear "details" from the first making.

Album info
It's mostly OOB with only minor changes and replacements to make up for broken/lost part.
I didn't want to jump into any time consuming and tiring corrections and stuff - it was all made as a quite relaxing attempt to get some 1:35 experience and give a very old kit in collection a new life.
