hi all.
im currently working on a M2A2 Bradley, and i want to leave the back hatch open, and for this i will need some interior. do any of you know of any available kits? or is it possible to scratch build one?
ive done a search for similar forums and didnt find any, so please excuse me if this has been posted before, im still relatively new to forums.

If memory serves me right, the Academy M2 Bradley kit comes with an interior. You can interchange this with the Tamiya kit as they fit perfectly.

Do post up progress shots of it once you start!

At least you already know the fault.

The best way to take photos is to have indirect light. Take 2 table lamps and place them about 45 degrees left and right of the model and shining onto some white paper. You can vary distance between the model and the lamp to adjust the intensity of the light. This produces soft light.

For the camera, if its digital, take without a flash but using a tripod or a stack of books. Vary the exposure time of each shot to get the right lighting on the photograph itself.

Oh dont forget to use a decent background on your model too, preferably white.
