That's some parts count and this will be a very time consuming build: can't wait!

I've been waiting in anticapation for this kit since AFV started producing Srtykers, and havn't passed on any so far.
Hopefully this one wont dissapoint either. So Far SoGood, Keep um coming.

Just got some unpublished pics of this M1132 Stryker Engineer Support Vehicle driving around the German countryside in the winter of 2009.
Now I‘m excited to get my kit any time soon and I am really looking forward to build this one.
If it is anything like their previous Strykers than it should be worth waiting for, the other AFV Stryker I have already built was very enjoyable and surprisingly easy.
Only drawback will be the lack of the anti-slip surface .... as with most modern kits!

I'm working on the Stryker MGS right now and I've only had one real complaint and that's the assembly of the headlight systems. The instructions do leave a little to be desired; but I'm still a HUGE fan!!
Can't wait to get my grubby little mits on the engineer vehicle!!

Has anyone found a web site in the U.S. where you can pre-order?

Hopefully they will release the plow as a separate kit by it lonesome. Would love to put on on some other builds I have such as my MGS as part of a "what if" scenario. Looking forward to this one. "Q"
