Dragon’s Armor Pro series adds a 1/72 scale kit of an M2A3 Bradley, this item being distinguished by the addition of the Bradley Urban Survival Kit (BUSK) III. This suite improves the IFV’s protection levels in urban environments, and includes aspects such as blast-roof seats, wire mesh to protect the optics, a transparent shield for the commander, air-conditioners and explosive reactive armor (ERA). A full BUSK adds some 3 tons to the Bradley’s weight.
This 1/72 kit of the M2A3 Bradley BUSK III is stunningly detailed. Most notable is Dragon’s widespread employment of 3D printing to allow production of parts to the requisite levels of detail. 3D-printed components include the rear-mounted air-conditioners, upgraded side skirts with associated ERA, Driver’s Vision Enhancer and the commander’s Transparent Armor Gun Shield. There are also photo-etched parts and one-piece tracks for greater refinement. As always, the kit is well engineered to ensure swift assembly. This fine model captures all the characteristics of a Bradley IFV upgraded with the BUSK III suite. This vehicle is well and truly ready for combat on urban streets!
