Alongside the Bradley build, I'm also doing up a Stryker Mobile Gun System. The kit was a little fiddly to put together with all the small parts but the fitting was good overall. Pictures follow. Comments and feedback most welcome.









I added some wire to the smoke grenade launchers to spice them up a little.

Looks fantastic Mark!

So other that the wire for the grenade launchers, this is pretty much built out of the box?

I've been thinking about acquiring this kit. seeing your build has nudged me a little closer to doing so.

Nice looking Stryker Mark! Haven't seen one of these put together before, you've done a nice job with it. Looks a little odd, like the gun turret is too big/heavy for the suspension, wonder how it rides? Definitely wouldn't want to see one coming at me from down the street!

Thanks for sharing your work. Cheers -

Tim
