I posted a while ago that I got this kit off a facebook model selling group. I purchased it as I really liked the look of it.

The kit number is SS-004 and has a full interior

I was quite surprised by the box, it was MASSIVE, and jammed full of sprues.

Here's a break down of the sprues

13 for the Bradley itself
4 green sprues for the interior
2 dark grey for the engine block
3 small sprues for the clear parts
Upper and lower chasis
Bag of track links
Metal tubes for the suspension
3 frets of PE including tyre mask and track mask
sheet of signs
Decals

The detail on the parts to me look to be very crisp and I really did struggle to find any flash anywhere. I apologise for the pictures as I left all the sprues in there sealed bags.

The manual is a really nice booklet that looks well thought out too. Overal of all the kits I have seen myself, which unfortunately is not many compared to some others on here, I rate this very highly. I have been so impressed I now have another Meng kit on its way from China BigGrin

I cant comment on accuracy as its not really my subject area.

Meng is on my long list of kits by manufacturers that I have never built but I was so impressed with the looks of the kit that I went and purchased another one that I really liked the look off. Watch this space Cool

After getting and being really impressed with the Voyager Photo Etch set for my T90 I decided to get the Bradley one too.

I was let down with my expectations, lots of brass on offer here Blink

I am not awaiting the release of the Meng Leopard 2 set also BigGrin
