M2 Bradley (USA)

The American Infantry Fighting Vehicle M2 Bradley entered service with the US Army in 1981. Developed in response to the Soviet BMP family, the Bradley is designed for reconnaissance and to transport a squad of six fully equipped soldiers in addition to its crew of three. Highly maneuverable and fast to keep up with the new M1 Abrams MBT, the Bradley is armed with a 25mm autocannon, a coaxial machine gun and a TOW anti-tank missile system with two missiles ready to fire.



The Trumpeter kit is very nice and easy to build. With some small improvements (see my previous WIP) it give a good representation of this vehicle. It is also the occasion to paint my first ever US troop in this case a very undecided command group from Elhiem Figures (made 2021)
