Need instructions for M3 Bradley

Modeling Subjects Armor

Hi all,

I recently received an old kit by Academy title M3 Bradley CFV. Everything is written in Japanese or Korean; no English. Does anyone have a copy of the instructions in English? It apparently comes from a Tamiya mold and is motorized. Anyone know anything about this kit?

Thanks,

Jesse

It is a so-so copy of Tamiya’s second Bradley kit. It represents an M3A0 Bradley from the early '80s. The Tamiya instructions were also almost all in Japanese as well, with just parts #s and arrows showing where they went. It isn’t that difficult to build. Here are instructions to Tamiya’s M2 that will help. They have the same basic parts layout. Just put the covered-over gun ports on in step 12 for an M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle.

Good luck.

Thanks again Gino. I appreciate it.

If that doesn’t help you , I should have the Tamiya M3 kit with English instructions in the stash.

Rob,

If you have a scanned copy, that would be great. The link that Gino sent me showed the instructions in the same format that I have - all Korean/Japanese.

Thanks,

Jesse

It’ll take me a day or so to get around to scanning the English Tamiya M3 instructions. I’ll get them done as soon as I can. If I forget, shoot me a message. I’m getting old.

I’ve got the old Tamiya M3 kit (bought it in '84, I believe), also, and I’m pretty sure my instructions are in English; if Rob doesn’t beat me to it, I’ll scan them & post them on Tuesday (if I don’t forget; I’m like Rob, I’m getting old, too!).

The instructions are on the way.
