The “Soldier’s General” In Digital Battlefields

The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, named after the five-star General Omar Bradley, is one of the main AFVs of the U.S. Army mechanized infantry. It was designed to counter the threat posed by its Soviet counterparts. After the revolutions of central and Eastern Europe, the threat of war in the Western Europe plain has disappeared. The U.S. Army used M2 Bradley IFVs in the two wars in the Persian Gulf region and obtained outstanding combat gains.

With operational experience from the wars, the U.S. Army decided to upgrade its whole combat system so as to ensure the vehicle’s superiority on the battlefield. It was upgraded with better protection and fire control systems and observation systems. More importantly, the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) Battlefield Command Information System became a standard configuration of U.S. Army IFVs. This system provided enhanced interoperability and situation awareness of the battlefield. A totally digital M2A3 Bradley IFV was born. Now, the M2A3 Bradley IFVs are also installed with Bradley Urban Survivability Kits (BUSK) which provide further protection to the crew and the vehicles.

After studying a lot of actual vehicle reference material and carrying out complete and detailed designs, we have now released this 1/35 scale kit –U.S. Infantry Fighting Vehicle M2A3 Bradley w/BUSK III. In addition to features like accurate shape, rich details and perfect fit, this kit also provides full hull and turret interiors (incl. engine, transmission and all parts in the driver’s compartment and passenger compartment). The real vehicle’s complete structure and details are precisely replicated with movable hatches, workable tracks, movable suspension and the linkage of the coaxial machine gun sight. The TOW anti-tank missile launcher can be modeled in folded or firing position with or without the missiles. The vehicle can be modeled with or without the ERA modules. What’s more, this kit also provides reasonably complete modern U.S. military antennae. With these options, modelers have more room to build their own M2A3 Bradley IFV models.

This kit consists of 667 parts on 23 plastic sprues (incl. 179 interior parts on 6 sprues), 31 parts on 3 PE frets, 10 parts on 2 TPE sprues (incl. passengers’ safety belts and coaxial machine gun bullet belt), 168 track links of 2 cement-free workable tracks. This kit will be the perfect choice for modelers who are machine fans and want to enjoy building a war machine, or who want to use models to tell a modern war story, or who are fans of U.S. weapons. We hope modelers will enjoy this kit.
