1/72 M2 Bradley, US Infantry Fighting Vehicle
ICM 1/72 M2 Bradley is a plastic kit of the American infantry fighting vehicle. The kit contains 150 parts and a decal sheet. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle entered US Army service in 1981. It was developed under the long-running Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle programme, which aimed at a protected, highly mobile carrier for mechanised units, and is named after General Omar Bradley of World War II. The Bradley carries infantry into combat and provides fire support at the same time.
The engine sits at the front of the hull to give the crew better protection; hull and turret are made of aluminium alloy reinforced with other metals and, according to the kit manufacturer, offer all-round protection against 14.5 mm armour-piercing incendiary rounds. The main weapon is the 25 mm M242 automatic cannon, while a twin launcher for BGM-71 TOW missiles on the left side of the turret deals with heavy armour.
The ICM kit in 1/72 scale includes 150 parts and the finished model is around 92 mm long. Modern US equipment in the small scale fits a collection of NATO armour as well as a present-day diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
