Very nice builds Aleluya.

Just 2 comments: the wheel rink steps are normally left off except on the very front wheel, and I would suggest attaching aeriels just to complete it. I use guitar string but stretched sprue could work also.

what is that protruding hook thingy on top of the vehicle?



It's a wire cutter. From Olive Drab.com (it's about Humvee wire cutter but it's OK for Strykers as well ) : "In addition to all other hazards, U.S. military vehicle gunners have been subjected to passive attacks based on wire strung across roads. The wire is positioned at a level that would strike an exposed gunner with great potential for injury or death. To counter this threat, a post with a wire cutting notch at the top has been mounted on the Gunner's Shield. This solution duplicates the wire cutting post mounted on jeeps during World War II for the same purpose."

On a side note, you can find an interesting article about the threat of low-hanging electical wires to turret gunners here :
