Dragon 7331 M2A2 ODS Bradley 1/72 – Plastic Model Kit

Dragon 7331 M2A2 ODS Bradley in 1/72 scale is a realistically replicated plastic model kit, representing the American infantry fighting vehicle M2A2 ODS.
The model from the ODS (Operation Desert Storm) series was developed based on experiences from the Gulf War in 1991. The U.S. Army, which used the M2A2 in key desert operations, decided on a number of upgrades: the vehicle was equipped with a laser rangefinder, an advanced tactical navigation system, a thermal camera for the driver, an MRE heater, an anti-missile system, and the modern Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below command system. The rear compartment allowed transport of up to 7 soldiers.

This version of the model incorporates many features unique to the M2A2 ODS, such as special external mounts for soldiers’ backpacks — a detail that perfectly reflects the atmosphere and equipment of vehicles from the time of Operation "Desert Storm". The integrated parts make this model ready to be displayed in dioramas related to late 20th-century conflicts or the Cold War.
