Tamiya M2A2 ODS OIF 2003 C Co
Added some to scale antennas I like the look but probably not the right ones. Offset aswell, I couldn't get a good drill going so I worked with kit
I didn't like how my paint job came out with recommended royal blue paint, so I found some adhesive film that seems cleaner and better looking.
This gave me the ideal to airbrush Baghdad sky for a photo. This portion of painted sky I made was much too small for full photos.
Now I'm awaiting my final parts.

Hand Painting Wheels, Didnt order enough light sand and am delayed a week now so I have plenty of time to fix them. I used a flooding technique to get the road wheel edges clean.
Probably because of inexperience but I prefer to prime paint and even sometimes weather my pieces before assemble.

Put the ammo can decals on upside down.
Time to start struggling with details and weathering, models not all built yet, I'm testing in the back and on interior door.
Acrylic wash on lacquer. I've been building my own way where I paint and weather as I go. This is my 1st armor but it makes sense to me minus the lack of effeciency.

David Cannon@Bob Hall Thanks for the offer. Since I've found some variations between the vehicles, It would help. Background scenery would be great also. I want to make a low resolution airbrushed background and was going to composite it from the few photos Ive found. I plan on adding the flaps in the front. Working with original material would be very cool. Do have an album online already?

Bob HallNo problem, I like your project, as I was a Bradly driver for years, I have a soft spot for that particular type of armor !

David Cannon@Bob, I was an Army Watercraft Operator 2005-2014, I was deployed to Kuwait In support of OIF X. For someone during my time of service early OIF combat arms veterans are highly respected. I had several of them reclass into my MOS as my seniors.. Anyhow Idk exactly why but the Bradley was my goto for a modern project and my 1st armor kit, and when I realized the kit was OIF I felt compelled to increase my efforts out of personal respect.
So I think I want to recreate a portion of one of your photos for use on this project, but id like to give myself more time to look through them.

Bob HallI served from 25 May 1990 - 4 Feb 2015 and held 2 MOS's 19 Delta and 31 Bravo. Always wanted to get on one of those water crafts just for shits and giggles but never got the chance, but for Bradley's I've been fortunate to say I've once launched a M3 Cav Brad at top speed, during new equipment training at Ft Hood, subsequently bouncing my gunners face off the doghouse! Ahhhhh good times 🤘😎🤘! Hoo-ah !
