Hi folks..

guys I need your help with a lil charlie foxtrot that I've got going on....

I picked up a Big Ed set for the stryker.. problem is I picked up the trump version of the Big Ed set... what if any of the trum version B.E. can be used on the AFV Stryker M-1126 or did I just totaly shoot Myself in the foot by not paying closer attention.

Thanks in advance

It won't fit correctly. The AFV Club and Trumpeter hulls are different in dimesions. It might be better to pick up the other kit or swap out the Big Ed set.

Hello,
You must buy set for Trumpeter form Eduard.

Chris,
Don't give up, it can be done. Gino is right though, the deminsions of the hulls are different, but a little patience and some good measuring can result in some nice slat.

Here is the AFV Club kit with Eduard Trumpeter slat armor. I got some help from Milo on this one.







I replaced most of the square tubing with Evergreen Square Rod
