I see Voyager have released a PE set conversion for a USMC Stryker.

Could someone please explain to me the difference between the Army and the USMC variants??

I wasn't aware until now the USMC were operating Strykers (shame on me)

They arent using them. Voyager either made a typo or got misinformation.

They aren't making them but I do know that they are looking for another type of APC. Now, with that said, I've built a few models of the Stryker in fictional USMC markings and posted those images on various sites and for those that know where I work maybe someone read into something Or they got confused with the LAVA1/A2 upgrade.

I just visited their site and I think it's just a very bad translation to english. It advertises a USMC antenna mounted on top of a Stryker vehcile. The add I looked at was for a USMC antenna.

Thanks guys, I was very surprised when i saw the upgrade kit on Luckymodel yesterday, i'm a bit of a stryker fan myself and i'm usually up to scratch on these affairs and thought i was loosing it.
..During my research on the net i did happen to come across your kit Andreas, nice job by the way,even if it is fantasy! Maybe sometime ago someone at Voyager saw it too

cheers lads
