How about some love for the M2A4 Bradley…

Good pics. It was already outlined further up in the post in October of '20. Externally, it isn’t really that different. Most of the changes are all internal to the engine and suspension.
A couple of potential future upgrades.

Welcome! And as I scrolled through your post I was hoping you’d show a build of your ride. You did not disappoint.

FYI, the back ground in the pictures was taken from my Bradley during our fight at Jalibah airfield on 2-27-91. We had pulled off the objective due to incoming Iraqi arty and I took a quick pic with a Kodak 110 I had.
Here is the picture.

When you went to Saudi Arabia with the 24th. We’re you with 7th or 15th Infantry?
I served with 2-7 Inf. right after the division returned from overseas.

And my own interpretation of the M2s the Division rolled with. Rumaila was the big battle the division fought, along with taking Jalibah Airfield.

Yep.
I never looked at it like that. Does look like it. 
Great builds on those Brad’s…
They are perfect candidates for this thread I started of people’s personal rides…
Feel free to put some there if you’d like David
This one is the cleanest picture I’ve seen of the old M2A1 Bradleys that rolled into Iraq with the 24th; same regiment as OP, but this one’s from 2nd platoon, Charlie Co. 3-15th Inf. 2nd Brigade.
This is the vehicle I used as reference for my Tamiya build.

Excellent references! Thanks!
I am building Kinetic’s M3A3 as an IFOR/SFOR M2A2, because I got it cheap.
What’s that actual kit like Ron ? I wanted a Bradley and was thinking of that one ?
