Only 2 BDE, 3ID vehicles drawn from APS 5 in Kuwait had the side bins. They were locally made in Kuwait. There is no kit that has them in plastic. Eduard does/did a PE set for them though. It also includes standard Bradley tie-down cleats and the jerry can racks that were also made in Kuwait and only on 2 BDE vehicles.

Were you part of 2 BDE, 3ID? What unit were you? I was in 1-39FA (MLRS), 3ID on the initial invasion.

If I can find the resin Legend ones (they come preloaded with stowage, they’re yours if you want them.

Rumor is that was the first BFist into combat or so the plaque at Sill says.

Very cool. Good to have a fellow Dogfaced Soldier aboard.
Forgot about the Legend set. You only get one basket per set though. Designed for the right side

I actually built the A Co, 1-64 AR BFIST that is in the 3ID Museum. Is this the one you are thinking of? I used the Eduard PE storage racks on it.

I must have been told a fib. Anyway, yeah, I still talk to a couple of the guys, one was my original battle buddy on a COLT team, that were part of that team. The museum was closed the only time I was back so I haven’t seen your model but that’s cool man. What made you decided the blown up BFist to make? Man that was a lucky shot on their track. I’m going to send a pick of your model.

Tell the crew thank you. A compliment from them is way better than any from a modeler. Here is a piece of the museum display. The BFIST on the far right is mine.

There is this Verlinden set too. It has stowage but only one side stowage rack, along w/two of the jerry can racks.
Currently on eBay.

I have to make another trip to Stewart sometime soon. Last time I visited the base was in 09 while going through FLETC. I was stationed at Stewart in the 90s when the 24th ID was there. The museum back then was much, much smaller.
