Don't know if this has been mentioned here before, and appologies if it has.
I came across this review of a resin upgrade set for the Warrior on militarymodelling.com: http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article.asp?sp=&v=6&uan=1158

It looks good, and seems to be more reasonably priced than PE (plus I hate pE with a vengence) and it got me wondering if we might see something like this for the Stryker soon.

Anyway, thought ye might be interested...

Cheers,
Sean

Looks wonderful. I hope to see really soon a similar kit for Stryker.

Gordon Brown of Cromwell Models has done an excellent job on creating resin slat for the Warrior Wrap conversion and the FV432 Bulldog kits.

But....I don't think we'll see resin slat for Strykers any time soon.

That's a pity! So what are the chances of one of the mainstream companies doing it in plastic? Slim? I've never managed to get PE to work right for me, and that's only working with small sets (CIP panels, jerry-can racks, etc) Maybe after more practice I'll risk the Stryker PE slat, or maybe I'll do a Warrior instead.....
