M1126 Stryker

Is this used in IRAQ right now or in any other area. I see alot with the added armor used in IRAQ.Sorry is this version being used.

The above vehicle is being used in Iraq, Though it has upgraded armor (slat armor) added before use in country

A beautiful job of modeling on this one. Congrats on a fine piece of workmanship. Steve

Yes, a beautiful model. I love the subtle weathering and the straps To represent a vehicle in Iraq you must have slat. No exceptions. Thus, vehicles like this are home-station or NTC type vehicles. Note that in Iraq they would not carry all this gear since they do not live in the field and do not have to carry all this stuff (packs). But this is quite correct for vehicles at say the NTC or JRTC or on manuevers. Also, as discussed on another thread here it is okay to cover the roof vent too. Bob

the first Strykers into Iraq ('03) didnt have them, but that quickly changed. Even with the slat package some vehicles do not have the extended headlights. It's a process, some are slower than others.

Nice job, what did you use for the straps? Tanks Andy
