I originally built this Trumpeter Stryker, because my nephew had deployed to Iraq with a Stryker Brigade from Fort Lewis. Now that I have built it, I want to do more! It is a great kit with both photo etch and plastic parts for small details. As I get more comfortable with photo etch, I will us more of them instead of the plastic. This M1126 is modeled after a test vehicle at Fort Lewis and has no unit markings. The reason is that the Trumpeter kit appears to be based on a test vehicle instead of the production vehicle. My nephew pointed out the small details.
I have added a couple of comparison pictures of the Stryker and a Soviet BTR-70.
Most Stryker vehicles were painted their own shade of green. Very few were repainted for deployment.
