Oh man that's cool! Thanks Terry, sorry I missed this post yesterday.
That's really cool them doing the Blues Brothers sliding in parking.
Chris bring it on, I know you got something in the stash.

I'm not good at armor designations, but I think the Bradley WAS in Desert Storm.
One of the most memorable pics from Life magazine from that war shows a Bradley crewmember sitting in the back of a medevac UH-60 crying over his friends death which was caused by a blue on blue incident.

There's no doubt the Bradley was there, the kit I've started is a M3A3 which came along after the war. As Terry said, Calvary inbound.
If memory serves - <ahem> :hmmm
there were A0, A1 and the beginning of A2 Bradleys on the ground of DS.
I think it was mostly A0 and A1. My friend who was there told me that he was the TC of a A1, which had minor exterior changes over the A0. Right off the top is the shape of the bustle rack. The A0 was angled in and the A1 was vertical.
I remember seeing A1s appear in our Battalion (2/30Inf) in 1987. My Company still had A0s. I liked the extra storage space on the A1 turret.
at the time, the interior of A0/A1 M2s were the same. I never had a chance to see a M3 model in person.
The A2 ODS model changed the interior layout from the seats to the bench. But that was after Desert Storm.

Chris, really appreciate your photos, big help!
So I think I got the tedious stuff done. Now the fun begins. Remember this A3 model is not for the campaign, just for fun.
Running gear installed, drive and idlers will be on tomorrow.
At least the tracks and wheels fit together. I got tracks coming for the A2 model.
These things are big!

That's what he's building the A2 for. :laugh:
Bingo....
I started the A3 out of ignorance, figure a Bradley is a Bradley right? Nope.
Not to worry James, General Mr T came through with the correct ride.
I just notice I didn't get a proper startup shot of this one. I'll correct that this evening.
