ICM 1/72 Scale M2 Bradley Light Tank U.S. Infantry Fighting Vehicle Model Kit

ICM 1/72 Scale M2 Bradley Light Tank U.S. Infantry Fighting Vehicle Model Kit

The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle entered service with the US Army in 1981. It was developed through a long-term program called Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle, which aimed to create a protected, highly manoeuvrable transport for mechanised units of the US Army. The vehicle was named after Omar Bradley, the legendary American general of World War II.

The M2 Bradley serves a dual purpose: transporting motorised infantry units during combat and providing fire support. It features a traditional layout with the engine positioned in the front of the hull to better protect the crew. Both the hull and turret are constructed from aluminium alloy reinforced with other metals to increase damage resistance. This armour configuration provides all-around protection against 14.5 mm armour-piercing incendiary bullets.

The Bradley's primary weapon is an M242 25 mm automatic cannon capable of penetrating 66 mm thick homogeneous steel armour. For engaging heavy armoured vehicles, a dual launcher for BGM-71 TOW missiles is mounted on the left side of the turret. Throughout its service life, the vehicle has undergone various modifications and improvements that have significantly enhanced its protection capabilities.
