Title: Operation Desert Garden - Bradley IFV + M4 Sherman = What-If Kit Bash
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on July 20, 2024, 03:26:29 AM
Something old and something relatively new put together to create a what-if that looks rather interesting:

M4 Sherman and M2 Bradley IFV kit bash found at YouTube from YouTube > FishTANK YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@FishTANK-z2c) > Operation Desert Garden - Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman turret + Tamiya M2 Bradley IFV hull. 

So far there are just two installments/parts to the project with more to come soon (I hope):

Pretty cool. 8)




PS: I was a tad annoyed by him constantly calling the M3 Bradley a "tank", though. As a modeller, he should know better than that! ::)

I do have parts left over from when I put a Bradley turret on a Sherman hull! Mix and match like ericr does.

Given that the Bradley hull has a large enough opening I suspect there are other possible options to consider for swapping such as the gun tub from the M42 Duster to create an SPAAG based on the Bradley hull.
