No BB-62 i sight, so another IFV it is, one of Dragon's 1/72 Bradley's specifically. Quite the multimedia affair, we have the normal plastic, vinyl tracks and PE obviously enough. Then the track sprue also had caps to put in the wheels and, rather worrying, two linkage arms that turned out to go between the gun mantlet and the turret roof. It was apparently the best idea they had for allowing the gun to be movable, I in turn glued the gun immobile specifically because of this so moving it wouldn't flex the arms and make paint fall off. Then there was an acetate sheet to cut out the crow's nest windows from, to spare myself glue stains (the windows are to be laminated between two bits of PE) and the worry of masking I'm just gonna fill in the frames with Micro Kristal Klear after painting. Then there's the rear hull roof/hatch, which was some kind of odd grey material at first sight, a bit of sanding brought out tan-orange underneath, ie it was a resin piece they had already put some paint on. And finally there was a sprue of backpacks and jerry cans made form some semi-soft plastic which I've passed on since no real ideas for where to put it turned up.
The instructions decided to Dragon it up straight away as the very first thing there is to assemble the drive sprockets. The outer half of them turned out to have two options on the sprue, both numbered B06... Past that though and it was well enough behaved. Also, glue the window holder bits to the main crow's nest before bending, the extra stiffness helps get the right parts bent.
