  1. Another awesome model, Rafi! Excellent details and ditto painting and weathering!

  2. A beautiful representation of the Stryker, Rafi @blackmopane
    Great weathering.

  3. Great build of an impressive beast Rafi.

  4. Very nicely done. A really nice kit that builds well. I used it to build my son's Stryker when he was stationed with the 3rd Cavalry Regiment...

    • Thank you Tom.
      It looks as if Trumpeter's Stryker is as good as AFV Club's.

      • It really went together well with no real issues. The only downside, if you will, is that I couldn't pose the wheels and tires except moving straight ahead...that is unless I wanted to do some major plastic surgery. Not a real problem for me. I chose the Trumpeter kit because my son was a Fire Support Team (FIST) leader and this kit models an M1131 Fire Support Vehicle with the Laser range finder and target designator. Like I said, your build is beautiful...and I apologize because I did not intend to hijack your thread.

        • Thank you Tom for the information.
          Setting a 4 wheeled steering mechanism is difficult. I do not thing that AFV Club's kit has it because I would have used it.
          No problem. I already checked the price of this kit and appears to be a good candidate for my next AFV purchase.

  5. Very nicely done indeed
