Got this kit for Xmas and want to build it mostly OOB, would just like to add Slat and resin wheels.
Now for the million dollar question, which is the best slat?
cheers

I asked this a while back and this is pretty much what I learned.
Eduard (very flimsy, hard to work with. I can vouch for that from personal experience)
Proart (Sturdy, resin supports but add on armor is resin and lacks the spacing found on the real thing. Easy (relatively speaking) to work with. Also from personal experience)
Griffin- (sturdy, comprehensive)
Voyager (flimsy, comprehensive)
By flimsy, I mean it bends if you look at it wrong and it is hard to "square" up. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds interesting Miloslav, I look forward to more information. Do you know if Eduard are preparing a set for the AFV Club Engineer Stryker?

excited to see this one come to life, Sauceman! That slat armor seems a bit of a beast to model, but it sure does look good when it's in place. I'll be following this one closely. Best wishes and Happy Holidays
