not sure of a interior on the medical or command or utility versions but maybe on the mortar carrier

Finally back. Not planning to put the divot in the guide tooth, first time I did it did not show in the print, even at 0.02mm layers. I would have to overemphasis the divot and then you get other issues. So…no.
If you need just the T161 sprockets, feel free to PM me.

Another M2A2 ODS-SA Bradley in Ukraine. This one looks to be overall green.

Magic Factory has announced an M7A3 BFIST as well. Coming in late 2024. This is the first BFIST in plastic.
It looks like it has the newer long-range antennas and new GPS/INS system.
Another thing to note. If the CAD is correct, this is an M3A3 hull with periscopes on the roof-top TOW reloading hatch, not the rear hull top. If so, it will be the first M3 Magic Factory does and could be built as an M3A3 CFV as well, providing the TOW box is still in the kit (it probably is since it is on one of the common sprues). It may point to another full line of M3 CFVs to come as well.

Aside from the shortcomings common to allof their Bradley iterations thus far, this will need additional work to make a correct M7A3 or M7A4.
In discussions with Trumpeter the past two days to see if they’ll add the necessary 3D printed parts from the M2A2 SA IFV kit. They seem interested, but one never knows, do one?

While the C. C. Lee Models Infantry Fighting Vehicle (M2) is listed in the very first post, the list of all 1/35 scale kits is not complete without this one as well:

I’ll buy it; with @18bravo and @HeavyArty help; we could fix the kit’s shortcomings and make it a perfect build.

Someone has already come close:

Vodnik and Pete Becerra, two of the finest builders you’ll find, (especially with modern subjects) seem to have disappeared from this site.
Edit: Ah. You meant the M7A3. I’ve been fixing the Magic Factory shortcomings on another thread. There are many to be sure, no matter which version you choose to build.

Yeah. I have a MF M2A4 M-SHORAD kit in my stash, adding this one, along with a M109A7 Paladin will cover the DIVARTY part of my collection.
I’ve read your modding and corrections of the M-SHORAD Bradley; lots of good info.

That M109A7 kit needs tons of work as well. The Shortcomings in the Magic Factory Bradleys seem not to bother folks much, but the M109A7 truly missed the mark.

That bad, huh? I know the Kinetic kit needs lots of work, so the AFV Club version would be less of a hassle, but I’d still needs some work from what I’ve heard.
Back on topic; I definitely want to have all possible variants of the Bradley in my collection. Already have the M2A1 thd M2A2 (both Tamiya) and the M2A3 BUSK II (Meng).

Sadly there is no M3A2 ODS available in 1/35, although there is the Dragon offering in 1/72.
I’ve begun one using a spare Meng M3A3 and an M2A2 ODS kit. Still too many irons in the fire at the moment, and not just models.
Yes. This thread also liks to the original:

Unfortunately, none in kit form. It can be converted though.
You can buy an X sprue from Meng’s M3A3. It has all the parts that you would need to add to an M2A2 to make it an M3A2 (blue boxes). You could also use most of the Meng M3A3 interior on it (minus the seats) if you want.
You will also get the rear stowage boxes to replace the A/C units on the M2A3 as well (green boxes), plates to mount the headlights onto the hull (red box), short BC shields (orange box), and some other parts.
