Topic: M2A2


  
  M2A2 and M3A2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle Systems (BFVS)
The hull of the Bradley is constructed of welded aluminum and supplemented at critical locations by spaced laminate armor.
The latest version of the Bradley, the M2A2, has additional applique steel armor to help defeat ballistic ammunition, with provision for explosive reactive armor for increased protection against shaped charge weapons.
The testing has demonstrated the tiles are safe and meet the performance requirements.

 IFV M2 Bradley
One of the infantrymen in the M2A2, the man seated directly behind the driver, was omitted.
This was used when working on the engine since the M2A2 was built without a trim vane, which had previously provided a handy place to stand.
After Operation Desert Storm, the M2A2 was upgraded again with the addition of an eye-safe carbon dioxide laser rangefinder, global positioning system and compass, combat identification system, and thermal viewer for the driver.

 Light Tank M2
This vehicle, serial number 11, was the first M2A2 light tank to be manufactured.
The easiest way to differentiate the M2A3 from the M2A2 is the increased distance between the suspension bogies in the latter tank.
The rear hull on the M2A3 was modified from the M2A2 by the addition of the doors in the lower plate.

 M2 Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Initial variants carried 6 total, but the side ports were removed for the A2 and A3 variants, leaving only the two rear-facing mounts.
The M2A2 was qualified to be transported by the C-17.
An air defense variant, these vehicles are modified M2A2 ODSs with the TOW missile system replaced with a four-tube Stinger missile system.

 Cybermodeler Online - Academy 1/35 M2A2 Bradley OIF
Tamiya's solution on the M2A2 kit was to simply replace one sprue with a new one of 46 parts to provide the plate armor and applique panels for the vehicle.
The complete upper hull is a single molding with the side plates and skirts in place; alas, the skirts as with all of the previous A2 efforts are still monolithic.
For making an accurate M2A2 ODS it's a bit better place to start than the Tamiya kit, as it costs about 25% less, but it will need new tracks and decals at a minimum to make an accurate model.

 Tamiya America Item #35264 | M2A2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle - Operation Desert Storm
The M2A2 ODS featured the latest in electronics, including a laser range finder, missile countermeasure device, GPS and digital compass antenna sensor.
After friendly fire incidents in the Gulf War, a CIP (Combat Identification Panel) was developed and attached to the sides and the rear of the M2A2 ODS.
In March 2003, M2A2 ODS units attached to the 3rd Armored Infantry Division were at the front line in the Iraq War.

 M2A2ODS / M3A2ODS (Operation Desert Storm) Bradley Fighting Vehicle
The purpose of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle is to enable Infantry soldiers to accomplish their mission of closing with and destroying, or capturing the enemy.
The M2A2 ODS emerged as part of a two-phased M2A2 modernization plan designed to implement lessons learned from over ten years of mechanized Infantry experience and to correct deficiencies noted during Operation Desert Storm.
The M2A2 ODS fights as a member of the Combined Arms team with the Abrams Tank.

 M2A2 w/ERA Review by Cookie Sewell (DML 1/72)
But even though the M2A2 and M3A2 Bradley fighting vehicles went into production, proving themselves on Operation Desert Storm, the decision to actually produce the suites of armor was deferred.
This is an improved version of their earlier M2A2 ODS kit (number 7247) and provides more parts and better rendering.
While they have simplified the array down to only seven parts, due to close fits and the conformal fit of the boxes on the actual vehicle this really isn't objectionable, and does prevent the modeler from having to mount 90 or so boxes of around 2 x 2 mm.

 Vodnik's M2A2 Feature
What is however not so well known is that building accurate M2A2 Bradley from Tamiya kit is quite a lot of work.
Also while many new parts required to convert Bradley to M2A2 variant were provided, most older parts were still used, and this brought the accuracy of the kit down significantly, as this way many smaller features distinguishing two variants of Bradley were overlooked.
It is possible to use interior from older M2 Tamiya kit or Academy copy of it and improve it with new Eduard PE sets, but it is a lot of work and it is also a bit costly solution.

The Linebacker systems are based on the M2A2 Bradley but the external BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile launcher is replaced by an armoured Standard Vehicle Mounted Launcher (SVML) on the turret of the vehicle which fires four ready-to-fire Stinger missiles with six missiles carried for reloading.
The M2A2 Bradley vehicle chassis is manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armaments (formerly United Defense) to which the Boeing modification kits including Stinger launcher are fitted.
The M2A2 is fitted with applique steel armour, but can also have explosive reactive armour (ERA) if required.

Gunner's sight has older style doors in Tamiya M2A2 kit, but it is perfectly OK for early M2A2.
This shape is correct for old M2 Bradley launcher, but in M2A2 there is no solid plate between two supporting brackets - you can see what is inside the launcher box - unfortunately I was not able to find a single photo of the bottom of the M2A2 launcher box.
Luckily in newer launcher installed in M2A2 vehicles those bolt heads are no longer flush with the metal plate, as there are no hollows in the plate anymore - bolts just stick out of it, what makes them easier to add to the model part.
