ICM 1/72 M2 Bradley IFV (72912)

This review will tell you more about ICM 1/72 M2 Bradley IFV (72912). As you can guess, plastic kit copies the famous Infantry Vehicle in small scale. Such a set might be a great choice for modelers who don't have space for bigger version, but still want to build one. Plastic inside is coming from Revell, but new release brings different markings, and later we might even see some new parts in the future. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, so all frames are packed into one plastic bag. There are 150 parts which should assemble into a model with 92mm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with a bit more modern version.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


As it is Revell plastic, all frames are molded in pale grey color which is standard for this brand. On the first page you can see panels for the lower hull section.


Plastic tracks are always welcome, especially in such a tiny model. Note that rubber sections of the wheels are molded as one-piece.


Side armor panels come as separate parts. External features look fine for 1/72 scale build.


Top hull section is molded as one-piece element with some premolded features. Pioneer tools will require careful paintwork in order to bring them out.


The last grey plastic sprue is dedicated to the various panels which will have to be combined together.


Decals sheet is not that big, but printing quality looks great. ICM included here all necessary symbols for three markings which you can see below.


Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.


Small Bradley should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great collaboration between Revell and ICM, and it might be interesting for all fans of the small scale build. Overall quality looks great, assembly won't be difficult. I think there is even some aftermarket can be found for this project. The only thing that could be cool to see is the set of 1/72 figurines from ICM. :)
