Model Overview

A Ready-Made 1:87 / HO scale Artitec US M3 CFV Bradley Forest Green Train Load finished in a weathered forest green U.S. Army scheme. This model represents the Cavalry Fighting Vehicle version of the Bradley in a transport-style configuration, making it especially useful for rail load, staging area, depot, and military deployment scenes.

The model features a detailed Bradley hull and turret, stowed TOW launcher housing, rear ramp detail, realistic tracked running gear, fine panel and hatch details, small printed markings, and subtle red and yellow transport-style markings on the hull. 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 armored cavalry movements, flatcar loads, and military logistics displays.

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, observation capability, and firepower in a vehicle that could operate alongside 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.

From the 1980s onward, M3 Bradleys became an important part of U.S. armored cavalry operations. When moved between bases, ports, training areas, or deployment zones, Bradleys were often transported by rail or heavy equipment transporters 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.
