Very nice build, Oliver. Thanks for sharing it with the community. I've done the Trumpeter version of the Stryker and from what I can see in your pictures the Academy offering has a few more nice details (lifting rings, towing points and the guard around the troop compartment ventilator). I'm not a rivet counter but you might want to add a touch of clear blue or clear red to the larger optic just below the machine gun. If you check out the M1126's on Prime Portal you can see that depending on the angle of viewing that sensor displays a version of the colours I mentioned. Your pictures also turned out quite well.
Cheers,

Thanks!
I know the larger optic is clear blue or clear red but i don't find the color in my home. so it is painted white.
add 2 new pictures.

Its a sweet little kit. I should finish mine, all I have to do is weather it and put the wheels on.
