    I am only so so and model making. One thing nice about tanks is that I cover up my mistakes with a bit of weathering, dirt etc. Model cars are not as forgiving. Other modelers spend 40 hours on a paint job, more like 4 hours for me. Also I am airbrush impaired.
    I believe this is the Academy 1/35th scale M2A2 kit. It has additional armor and the TOW missile launcher is not used. For the real thing in close up fighting taking a hit where the missiles are stored destroys the vehicle. The missiles are for long range combat against other armored vehicles. The original Bradley is called an Infantry Fighting Vehicle as was to carry infantry which could fight from the vehicle.
    This version has the infantry firing ports covered up.
