Looks pretty nice. Whats up w/the fuel cans on the left rear though? They should have 3 handles, not two.

The two on the right look as if they're missing (or they haven't added them) two handles....?

Oh, while i'm at it, question for you Gino, What's Barracuda Netting?

The ones on the right are water cans, never seen the two handled fuel cans?

The two on the right are correct, they are water cans, which have only one handle. The fuel cans on the left should have 3 handles. They are different in the stamped design on the side and the cap as well.

Fuel Can:



Water Can:


Barracuda Netting is a camo system used by the Aussies. It is camo net panels on a rigid frame that is shaped similarly to the vehicle and they hang off it.

Great news about the mortar variant.

Looks like 2009 is going to be the year of the Stryker in China!

Another good looking model from Trumpeter. Agree with some of the comments above, too many coming out...not enough time (or funds!) HA!

Thanks for the look-see!

It would seem that Trumpeter have adapted the tactics recommended by
George S Patton to read like this:
Find the customers and then just pile on the kits.

Need to clear a shelf for all those Strykers .....

2009 NOV


Last night on eBay looking for a Centauro I found one from a seller in Korea. Checked his other items and he had this on offer also.... yet if you searched eBay for M1134 it did not show up. I meant to keep the link, but got distracted....

Anyway, it struck me that this could not be genuine or could it?

FYI: The M1134 is now listed as "In-Stock" on HLJ

Bring 'em on!
