Thanks for the preview Ted! Looks like a good build! I've seen video of them in the middle east and always thought they would be a good kit to build.

If you guys keep showing me cool things like this you're going to end up making a Stryker fan out of me, or maybe I already am and am just in denial about it...

Just got mine in the mail from Luckymodel. Nice kit and ton of pieces. This will definitely not be a week end effort by any means. "Q"

The designer at AFV Club said it took him a full day just to build the mine plow -so that in itself should take a "normal person" about 3 days! This is truly one of the best kits to come out this year!

I have two M1132 from AFV. I'm waiting for a review, because the model is excellent. When Trumpeter got 92% AFV must have a minimum of 110%. I look forward to construction. I will do one of Slate Armor.

I received the AFV M1132 about one week ago. Yesterday I built the plow... amazing details but many many parts and lots of fumbling. Today I am working on the remote controlled weapons station, which I am going to enhance with some RB models metal parts, and some other little items like the devices to mark the mine cleared path. But the plow alone is worth the kit.

Only problem I ever had with them was an order I placed that had free shipping that was shipped via SAL. It took a full two months to arrive. Other than that one time experience everything has gone fine. Took about a week to arrive in the US once I placed my order for the Stryker.

Hello Miloslav - do you know if Eduard are making a slat armour set for the AFV Club M1132, or will you be modifying existing sets for yours? I think the AFV Club kit of the M1132 should be nominated for 'kit of the year'!
