Hi all! I just purchased my first armor kit and am doing a little research on building armor and my subject, an M2 Bradley. I've been doing automotive kits for 2+ years but this will be a new challege for me.

Hi cepwin,

Welcome to the Big A!

Alot of active servicemen frequent these forums and there are plenty of references around on the M2 Bradley so definitely have a look around when you have the time.

Just to get you started, Primeportal is a great place to get references images.

Good Luck!

Thanks Jeremy! Yes, I did a google and there seems too be a lot of info on the Bradley. I'll have to check out Primeportal. The challenge I think will be painting the model. It's quite different than painting a model car. While you're not going for a "showroom shine" there's the camofloge and the weathering aspects. I have some good references, two books and a painting guide (actually more like a pamphlet) that should help.
Thanks again!
