Kelly's M3A2
So many parts. 60 parts for roadwheels and suspension.
100 parts in, and Im only 10% done.
Looks kindof like a Bradley.
I have no clue how many handles, tools, hinges, latches, and armor plates this is, but...its all i could do in a sitting.
Starting to look a little like a Bradley. Hull is basically done. Turret is mostly assembled.
I can say, without a doubt, that I've built whole kits with less parts than this turret.
Getting so close to prime and paint.

I stole the sprocket from another kit. I'll have to replace that part, but that was the best/quickest option. Thanks! All that's left now are the tracks. Putting those guys together is the epitome of mind numbing. But, they look better as individual links than other options.

Individual link tracks are far and away better looking than the rubber band tracks. A suggestion, work in sections and build them along a straight edge. When I built my dad his Vulcan, I did the links in sections of ten, then glued those together on the road wheels. I used a craft stick taped to my cutting mat as a straight edge, but anything straight will work.

The good things about these is that they don't require glue. They literally snap together at the hinge.

The time period is right. These were given to me by Kelly Street who was PL. These were his Bradleys. I can ask him.

I was there with Regimental Headquarters Troop; right after 9/11, it was too late to cancel the exercise. So went from arriving Ft. Carson from Germany 28th August to in Egypt by around 1 October.
