I got my interior from him as well. I also got a plethora of challenger 2 parts and M1078. Shipping takes about 2 weeks but I'm assuming Chinese customs are like a clamp on the nuts. He's a good person to work with.
Shipping to me here in Australia usually takes about 7-8 days.. no nut clamps here

Gino what price did you get it at.
I got it for $46.50 plus about $6 for shipping. Amazingly, no one had bid on it. I got it from the same place as the others. It took about 2 weeks to arrive as well. It looks pretty complete. Its on the to-do list. We'll see when I get to it...hopefully soon.

Small update...not only do I plan on a interior, I decided also to do the engine bay with engine.
The fluids are made from oils while the soot was made from heavily diluted Tamiya smoke.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

I got some work done over the last few days and was able to finish up the engin bay. Just need to tidy up some minor items in the bay.
I decided not to go beyond the engine block as it will be hidden. For next Stryker I plan to open all the engine bay panel doors to expose the whole engine and transmission.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

Looks awesome Joe. Any chance you made a mold of that engine? I would love to add it to my M1126 w/the Black Dog interior.

Thanks guys and sorry I did not make a copy of it. I started out to make the whole engine, but while test fitting it into the bay I noticed that you don’t see much of the details. Though it looks good it is missing detail. If there is a large enough interest I would be willing to do a complete engine and transmission package.
Happy Modeling,
Joe
