Model Overview

A Ready-Made 1:87 / HO scale Artitec US M2 IFV Bradley Forest Green Train Load finished in a weathered forest green U.S. Army scheme. This model represents the Infantry Fighting Vehicle version of the Bradley prepared in a transport-style configuration, making it especially useful for rail load, staging area, depot, and military movement scenes.

The model features a detailed Bradley hull and turret, realistic tracked running gear, rear ramp detail, turret-mounted equipment, stowed details, fine hull paneling, small printed markings, and subtle weathering throughout. The solid green finish gives the vehicle a classic late Cold War through post-Cold War U.S. Army appearance, while the “Train Load” configuration makes it a great fit for flatcar loads, deployment scenes, and military logistics displays.

Vehicle History

The M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle was developed to carry infantry into battle while keeping pace with U.S. armored formations. Unlike a simple armored personnel carrier, the Bradley was designed to both transport soldiers and provide direct fire support with its turret-mounted weapons.

The M2 Bradley is armed with a 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, a coaxial machine gun, and a TOW anti-tank missile launcher. This combination allowed it to engage infantry, light vehicles, fortified positions, and armored threats while supporting dismounted troops on the battlefield.

Bradleys were widely used by the U.S. Army from the 1980s onward and became a major part of American mechanized infantry units. When moved between bases, ports, training areas, or deployment zones, vehicles like the Bradley were often transported by rail as part of larger military logistics and deployment operations.

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.
