Vehicle History

The M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle is the scout and reconnaissance version of the Bradley family. It is closely related to the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle, but the M3 was configured for armored cavalry units rather than carrying a full infantry squad.

The M3 Bradley combined armor protection, mobility, sensors, and firepower in a vehicle that could operate with tanks and other armored forces. Its armament included a 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, a coaxial machine gun, and a TOW anti-tank missile launcher, giving cavalry units the ability to scout ahead, screen friendly forces, and engage enemy vehicles when needed.

During the Gulf War, Bradley vehicles played an important role in fast-moving U.S. armored operations across the desert. M3 CFVs were especially useful for reconnaissance, route security, flank protection, and forward screening missions, helping armored formations locate threats and maintain battlefield awareness.
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.
