Re: M3A2 Bradley

Absolutely exceptional, Gman. I own all four FOV Bradley’s, and about the only thing I can say is – they’re fabulous.

Well – actually – I can say more than that. The Enthusiast versions, you probably know, are much more “weathered” than the Action series (road dust, grime, mud, etc.). Same models, more weathering. And more real-world accessories like gas cans, tow straps, antennas, tools, etc.

Either way, FOV did their homework and crafted some excellent M3A2s. In fact, bolt for bolt, I’d say they rival Dragon’s 1/72 Bradleys. Different size, same masterly attention to detail. You’ll love ‘em. Can’t recommend them enough.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I might add that FOVs are extremely popular. If you can still find any of the four, I'd grab it.
 

It isn't faith that makes good science, Mr. Klaatu, it's curiosity. Sit down, please. There are several thousand questions I'd like to ask you.

Yep! Four of 'em. They're just as good as the Bradleys.

Re: M3A2 Bradley

Those are all M1A1s, not M1A2s. The 1/72 FOV Abrams is a M1A2.

Re: M3A2 Bradley

FOV misidentifed them as M1A2s for their 1/32 series. M1A2 has a flexible .50 cal mount, the CITV, and a different commander's cupola than the M1A1.

Re: M3A2 Bradley

The smoke grenade launchers on the FOV Bradleys are a joke. The ones found on the Improved TOW vehicle are much more accurate.

Re: M3A2 Bradley

Howdy everybody! I'm new to the forum. Just got my FOV M3A2 Bradley a couple of months ago. Personally, I feel that the manufacturer could have done a better job. As Ziegler pointed out, the smoke dischargers are a joke. Also, the weathering is a wee bit fake on some parts. That said, I like the fair amount of accessories that came with the model, e.g. side racks, crates, duffle bags, jerry cans, spare wheels, tow cables and infantry anti-tank weapons. Gives the vehicle a nice "combat feel". Besides that, I also like the interior detail, which shows the seats for the 2-man scout team and stowage for TOW anti-tank missiles, etc. Shortcomings notwithstanding, I think the quality matches the price and I'm pretty happy with it. Here are some shots of my M3A2 that I have just taken.
