M2/M3 Bradley Reference

None of those photos will be what the fielded version looks like, as it will be based on the M2A4 chassis.

Time to buy another Magic Factory kit! :slight_smile:

Well, this is something you don’t see every day in Las Vegas, a Bradley southbound on the 95, on a flatbed with no tracks or rear ramp. Wish I could have gotten a better pic, but it was a real derelict.

Heading to an Army Depot for repair/refit perhaps? If it’s going I-95 SB out of Las Vegas; it may go to Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, TX. Red River is a major repair and upgrade facility for the M2 Bradley.

I figured something like that, maybe coming from Sierra Depot? It had a lot of spray paint markings on the side, but I couldn’t get pics, almost wrecked taking that one!

Most likely. My guess is that the vehicle was tagged as “deadlined” and then was stripped at Bde Support for useable parts to keep other vehicles in the green (normal procedure to save money and keep other vehicles operational without having to wait for new parts to arrive), then the husk sent to be rebuilt.

Ahead of their upcoming M109A7, Rye Field has announced 2 separate sets of T161 Tracks that can be used on Bradleys (A2 ODS-SA, A3, A4, BFIST). I don’t think they come with the new sprockets for them though. They do look to have the proper open center guide teeth.

Plastic multi-part links.

3D-printed multi-part links.
