Bradley in Iraq

[phildagreek]

Right then, my latest completion, the Tamiya (now) classic or old kit of the Bradley. No interior is included so it’s all buttoned up.

Depicted at a halt on the road to Baghdad with it’s TOW mount up & ready. The kit comes with a fair bit of stowage, enough to depict a squad inside. The aftermarket stowage is from the Tamiya stowage kit & Accurate Armour. The commander is a Mini Art figure.

Apart from that the kit is out of the box. Brush painted in Humbrol enamels, 117 green as an undercoat & 096 brown in very thin coats to try & let some green show through. The main weathering colour is 110 brown. I tried some spong chipping on the bottom of the skirt but I’m undecided about the results. Finished in Winsor & Newton Matt varnish.

Nice work Phil. It does look good loaded up with all the stowage. Nice one.

Hi Phil,

I`m glad to see one of your models, very good for all the equipment distributed by the vehicle, along with the figure that accompanies it very well.
Cheers and TC

Looks great, nice work.

 

Reminds me of going on holidays when the kids were small.

Cheers Bertie, I know what you mean!

Really great work. Those modern stowage really add to it. I'm sure previous periods would be just as colourful. Makes you think.
