I scratch built the front portion of the Mine protection kit for my current M1134 ATGM stryker project. I am in need of photos that show the rear section of the complete MPK. Does anybody know where I can get reference photos of this kit? Anything will help thank you

How did you do the non-slip coating?

Thanks

Looks like the Rust-Oleum Anti-Slip method I showed here a while ago.

It looks good so far. Good job on the anti-slip and the mine protection kit.

I think you nailed it with the anti-slip surface and scratch-built parts.

I will try to get a tutorial together on how to "turn" the front drive wheels on strykers. Its really not hard at all.

As far as the anti-slip, all the flat surfaces are given the rust-olium treatment. I use a combination of liquid mask and masking tape. I apply liquid mask to all the bolt heads, and other areas where I can't use the masking tape.

Very nice and original build indeed. It's a shame that all your work will disappear behind the wheels.

Very nice. I too would like to see how you turned the wheels. I did it on one of my in progress builds and it was a pain.

Well I have been working on this project for some time now, Its nearing the point where I have to make a decision, I want to add the TFSS from Real Model, the improved and armored drivers hatch, rear section of the MPK. I am also playing with the idea of slat and the mounting attactment for the mine roller assembly, any ideas? Also does anybody have info or pics for the MPK for the stryker? Thanks. I will post pics soon.

Do the M1128s in Afghanistan have the spaced armor on the hull sides like the M1126 does. I was thinking of doing an M1128 next to go with my Afghan M1126 (which also needs the MPK)

Is the TFSS being reissued? Most of the Afghanistan Strykers I have pictures of have this (although all are missing the hoses and hose supports- just the fender additions and fire extinguishers. Sorry for hijacking- DJ, your work looks awesome! I just emailed you 4-5 pics I had of the MPK

Small update, waiting for the TFSS and the MPK from Real Model. The blast shields are from Eduard. The Front DPK is scratch built I am not quite done with that yet.

Well after setting this project aside for over a year I have finally restarted this project. I have taken most of the PE off so I could scratch build the rear hull armor kit. Now I'm back to replacing most of the PE, scratch building the strykshield ( driver windscreen), updates and pics to follow.
