Dragon 1/72 M3A2 ODS Bradley # 7413

The M3A2 ODS Bradley, also known as the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, is a tracked armored vehicle that was developed by the United States Army.

It is designed to transport infantry soldiers into battle and provide them with protection and firepower.

The vehicle is powered by a 600-horsepower Cummins VTA-903 diesel engine and has a crew of three personnel.

It is armed with a 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, a TOW anti-tank missile launcher, and a coaxial 7.62mm M240 machine gun.

The M3A2 ODS Bradley has a high level of protection, with thick armor plating that can withstand small arms fire, shrapnel, and anti-tank weapons.

It is also equipped with advanced communications and navigation systems, as well as thermal imaging and laser range-finding equipment for targeting.

The M3A2 ODS Bradley has been used by the United States Army in various military operations, including the Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan.

It has been praised for its versatility, mobility, and firepower, and has earned a reputation as one of the most capable infantry fighting vehicles in the world.

The M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle (CFV) is closely related to the more common M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (IFV).

Physical differences between the M2 and M3 are subtle.

For example, the M3 CFV does not have firing ports in the rear hull, while it also carries more spare TOW missiles and other ammunition rounds.

Its role is also quite different, with armoured cavalry units using them for reconnaissance/scouting tasks.

After the Gulf War, the CFV was modified into the M3A2 ODS.

This Operation Desert Storm variant featured a laser rangefinder, tactical navigation system, thermal imager for the driver, missile countermeasure device and Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below system.

Newly tooled soldiers’ backpacks can be attached to the hull sides of the M3A2 ODS Bradley CFV, as is often seen on vehicles in combat zone photos.

The tracks are convenient one-piece types.

This Armor Pro kit is a very well-engineered kit, and it perfectly captures the look of the M3A2 Bradley.
