Tamiya 35152 - 1/35 U.S. M2A2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle  [35152]

In regards to the U.S. M2A2 IFV

The U.S. Army's M2/M3 Bradley battling Vehicles were initially developed during the '70's, to generally meet a U.S. Army requirement for an agile armored workers car which could keep rate with all the M1 Abrams tank. The F.M.C. Corporation, found in Ca, U.S.A., produced the M2/3 Bradley series, and came across or exceeded the Army's interest in flexibility, firepower and team protection. With continuing changes being manufactured in tools technology, upgrading of current systems is an on-going procedure. Aimed mainly at enhancing the crew's "Survivability", the M2A2's improvements had been mainly accomplished by adding external plates on front side and edges regarding the automobile. Reactive armor slabs are then put into these plates, inside field. Kevlar liners (called "spall liners") had been placed on the interior for the team compartment for additional security. To manage the increased weight and still maintain steadily its excellent flexibility, the Cummins 500 hp turbocharged diesel motor had been tuned to 600 HP, and the transmission had been regreared and strengthened. The vehicle tools stay equivalent, excluding a better version of the TOW-2 missile launcher. Having experienced solution for longer than 10 years, the Bradley IFV's just progress.
