Magic Factory M2A4 Bradley

A stack of plastic goodies 

Fixed swing and suspension arms. No polycaps, but the fit of the wheels is pretty tight. 

Looks flat. 

Since there is no interior provided, the rear ramp door will be glued shut. I opted not to install this driving mechanism for the rear ramp.
If you want to open and close the rear ramp, I think part O42 should not be glued. Since it needs to be able to move backward and forward.  

Just assembled the lower part of the link and length tracks. I'll leave the upper parts out as they will be covered by the side skirt armor anyway.
There are a lot of ejection marks on the tracks, but I don't bother to remove them. Maybe later..  

Started painting and weathering the lower hull, since it will be difficult to access this area with the side skirt on.  

Base paint Nato Green -> Texture with AK Interactive Diorama Light Earth -> XF-57 Buff -> Hairspray chipping -> AK Pigment Europe Earth -> Mr Weathering Color Sundy + Ochre Soil 

Same treatment to the wheels, idlers and sprockets + XF-85 rubber black. The provided PE paint mask for the wheel is really helpful here.  

 

 

 

 

 

Base color using Tamiya XF Nato paints 

 

 

 

With his big brother, Tamiya M2A2 Bradley. 

Finished placing the (not so many) decals. 

Filter + Dark Wash + a bit of fading using buff
