Dragon 1/72 Bradley

[Guest]

After havi ng fun with the 1/72 Sherman I git this little Dragon Bradly M2A2 IFV.
I was amazed at the crispness and clean moldings, the level of detail but the instructions I found a little lacking in detail.
I have assembled the wheels and will post pix as soon as it looks like somthing.

I look forward to the build. The 1/35 version was difficult enough with the small parts on the turret, at 1/72 it will be quite a challenge. Good luck.

Nice Theuns, looking forward to seeing this develop.

I wanted to scratchbuild the interior but sanity prevailed and I will give that a skip LOL

I have lost count of how manu little bits go onto this IFV, best is to try tick them off the plans as you go allong but still confusing at times.
Check out the detail...

For a 1/72 scale that looks very impressive.

Color on.I almost think a pinwash will be to "stark" the shading is working well to break up the mono tone look, maybe a wash just in the hatch openngs and around the tools.

I primed the tracks yesterday and like I was warned they are still a tad sticky, I will leave them in the sun today to see what happens.
