M1128 Stryker MGS

[Leopard2]

I thought I build something that is not for a campaign. So here is AFV Clubs M1128 Styker MGS.

Bitchin'! From the moment I saw a pic of this thing I felt that it just had to turn into a giant robot.

But it would fit in so many campaigns, oh well.

That beast would make an awesome build. What size gun does that monster have? I think I saw some pix of one built in the IPMS convention journal, and it is something to see.

I agree with Chuk, Megatron's fusion cannon :evil:

This is a great kit.


All the best!

Here is a picture of some of the detail this kit has. These are the mesh covers of the rear shocks. Its a plastic piece not PE. IT is just amazing. I hope you can see the instructions through the part.

Cool stuff, Joe. Although I'm not into the modern stuff, this looks like a cool build!

Re: M1128 Stryker MGS UPDATE

Got the suspension done and also the first 2 of 11 eleven steps for the gun. The fit of this kit is amazing as well as the detail. Only draw back so far are the instructions. I have found 3 wrongly marked parts so far. The barrel comes with a spring for recoil action. Don't know what good it will do unless I take the model out in a sandbox and go BOOM, BOOM

Re: M1128 Stryker MGS Update

Thanks guys. Here is another update. This kit pretty much falls together. Very good fit and detail. I already know that this won't be my last Stryker I am building. I got about 70% of the build done now. Lots of small parts and PE that still need to be added.
