Son all grown and in the military, selling a few of his highly detailed military models he made.
This is a highly detailed model, pictures do not do this model justice.
A 1/35 scale diorama of a Ukrainian Bradley Fighting Vehicle typically features the Magic Factory M2A2 ODS-SA (MGF-2007), often representing the 47th Mechanized Brigade. These models require specific digital camouflage (often with custom templates), white cross markings, "cope cage" anti-drone armor, and heavy weathering to reflect active service in Ukraine.
Key Components for a Ukrainian Bradley Diorama:
• Model Kits: The Magic Factory 1/35 M2A2 ODS-SA is highly recommended for accuracy. For smaller scales, Dragon Models offers 1/72 scale M2A2 ODS kits.
• Modifications:
• Anti-Drone Armor ("Cope Cages"): Many models feature fabricated slat armor on the turret roof.
• Digital Camouflage: Often applied to 47th Brigade vehicles, requiring specialized painting techniques.
• Specific Markings: White cross (white crosses) to identify Ukrainian vehicles.
• Painting & Weathering:
• Colors: Use unique "Ukrainian green" similar to T-64 tanks rather than standard NATO green.
• Weathering: Mud buildup using products like AK Terrain paste, particularly on the lower hull and suspension.
• Details: Use the "hairspray technique" on rubber mud flaps to simulate paint chipping.
• Periscopes: Tinted blue, often created by spraying clear blue over painted silver or white surfaces.
• Diorama Setting: Muddy, torn-up terrain to match the Ukrainian landscape.
