I agree with eastern front on everthing. Ive seen many pictures of bradleys with the same rpg standoff wire armor cages. I wouldnd care if it was tamaya that would produce it. I wouldnt count on the rc model companies very much to produce it though,after all look at how many WW2 tanks and cold war tanks they could produce but havent.

This little vehicle is basically a spartan thats been fitted with the turret from the scimitar, both of these are from the cvrt range of vehicles which are lightly armoured. Warrior is our equivalent of the bradley, i would say the closest comparable type for the US would be the M551, Scimitar 2 is a stop gap vehicle until the scout sv comes into service, if it ever does, personally i favour new build or upgraded warriors, having served with them i cant fault them.
