Model Overview

This Ready-Made Artitec model reproduces a U.S. Army M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle in a weathered forest green finish. The model features the Bradley’s distinctive two-man turret with its long 25 mm cannon, turret-side TOW missile launcher housing, coaxial weapon detail, open turret hatches, optical equipment, and twin radio antennas.

The tracked hull is recreated with side armor panels, six road wheels per side, detailed tracks, front engine-deck grilles, and the large rear infantry ramp. Exterior details include rolled stowage on the front hull, a tow cable, tools, spare equipment, a turret-mounted spare road wheel, vehicle markings, red reflective strips, and subtle dirt and wear across the running gear and armor surfaces.

Vehicle History

The M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle was developed for the U.S. Army to transport mechanized infantry under armor while providing substantial direct-fire support. Entering Army service in the early 1980s, the Bradley was designed to operate alongside tanks and allow its infantry passengers to dismount closer to contested areas.

Its primary armament is the 25 mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, supported by a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and a twin TOW anti-tank missile launcher. This combination allows the Bradley to suppress infantry positions, engage light armored vehicles, and threaten heavier armor while supporting dismounted troops. Its tracked chassis provides the cross-country mobility required to accompany U.S. armored formations.

About Artitec Ready-Made Models

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
