This is R12 from the Bradley Infantry unit attached to Task Force 1-64 during the first Thunder Run. It is on display with other models of the vehicles used that day at the 3rd ID Museum at Ft. Stewart, GA.

Damn man Epi that R-12 is the best Bradley model I’ve ever seen! And I’ve seen hundreds! Just outstanding in every respect. The build, the finish, the detailing, the weathering, the stowage - just incredible. If that model came to Armorcon I’d put it in for Best In Show. Well done brother. :+1: :beer:

When building the Tamiya Bradley’s, a lot of modelers miss this on the gun mantlet. It is the port where the 25mm shells are ejected out from:

And the latch that unlocks and locks the barrel in:

The Meng Bradley’s have the ejector port, but not the latch.

I really like your AMPV, Pete. I may have to do one as well.

Has anyone seen any interior pics of any AMPVs? I would like to add an interior if/when I do one. Probably just the standard APC version.

More on the way…
