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.

Re: M1128 Stryker MGS UPDATE

I have been slowly chugging along on this one. Most that's left are small bits and pieces and the wheels.
One of the things I assembled today was the tow bar. and i9t is actually fully functioning. I thought that is kinda cool. And no glue used. All pins are press fit.

Here are more Progress pictures. I have to finish the front hull, turret and .50 cal before it is time to paint.

Very cool. Canada almost got these. Luckily someone woke up and we got the new Leopards instead. Still a neat looking vehicle.

Thanks guys. Got the decals, some pin wash and the decals on. Now its time to do the detailing and weathering. Unfortunately I broke one of the mirrors and the mg of .

Battle damage...or maybe just traffic?

man, that is some cool stuff! I bet when you are inside that vehicle and touch off the 105mm, it really rocks the suspension!

 

[Sharkmouth]

Broken but not lost, correct?

the Mirror should be not too hard, but I hope that you still have the MG. If so, it whould be an easy fix, as others have stated.
