Nice do you get the option of either the dozer blade or mine rollers with the same kit?

WOW, Trumpeter beat AFV to the punch. Gotta love this Stryker competition between AFV and Trumpeter.

I also see that Trumpeter is correcting some issues with the hulls like finally adding the drivers camera.

Thanks for posting these pics.

A lot of people were saying that it was just nothing more than a line drawing on Trumpeter's site... no faith

Correct me if i'm wrong I get the impression that BOTH are included. Simply because there was only ONE reference Nº for the kit...

This will be a great kit. One question, are the mine rollers or the dozer blade compatible with other vehicles?

The kit looks good but it seems like the mine roller kit is a little short. The one's out now have two sets of rollers but then this might be a totally different roller kit.

no because the ESV is the only vehicle with the JFK (Joint Fitting Kit) adapter on the front to allow the roller, straight blade, and angled mine plows to mount to the vehicle

Does that mean that the rollers and mine plow are a specific design for the Stryker? Wouldn't it have made more financial sense to produce a standardized design and different mounting modules?

I'm sure the scratch builders out there will come up with a way to convert the mine roller to a pilson model....I'm looking into it. Now to sit on my hands till it comes out.

Hopefully Trumpeter or AFV club will take their time and finally update the Remote Weapon Station. It is a drag to have to scratch or buy AM sets just to get the correct pieces. So different versions are great, corrections even better.

Hmm, no angled blade or "V" blade. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted to see that the Trumpeter kit includes two options, but I'm hoping that the other two blades I've seen attached to it either become available as aftermarket, or even through Trumpeter themselves - they've been pretty good about releasing "extras" for their Strykers, LAVs, etc.

Finally a way to build a unique Stryker without spending $150. Trumpeter is to be commended for there use and diversity of this production venture. AFV isn't far behind either. Cant wait to get one for myself. I love Engineer vehicles.
