Thank you for the awesome update sets for modern armor/AFVs, Voyager!
I'll get this for sure.
I just hope there'll also be a Slat Armor for the M1128 MGS.

That looks great- I didn't realize that some strykers had the metal plates protecting the wheels on one side and slat on the other.
I second the comment on the M1128 slat armor. Definitely a set that is needed
How do you get the antennas straight? I bought three of the antenna sets and all of them have the wire curved. I cannot get it to go straight like you have.

Jason, I could be wrong, but I guess they just installed that protection kit on side at the model. All the pictures of real Strykers with this additional armor I've seen showed it on both sides.

Ah, OK. So hopefully this comes with options for either set up.

Hello friends ... I have a question.
Can I use this PE set in my M1128 stryker?
best,
Fernando.

Unfortunately not. It is technically impossible to manufacture an accurate slat armour set in 1/35 for the m1128.

Not technically possible?????
haha haha
I've seen at least 4 different scratch builds.
now that I FINALY got my mini-guns...I'm going to start working on mine.
Just wish I had better photos of the 'slat to armor connections'.

I said ACCURATE. The slat of the m1128 is thinner in real life than the slat kits on the other Stryker variants. The photo-etch would be too thin to be built effectively. I talked about this with one of the AM manufacturers. It is possible to scratch SOMETHING, but releasing an inaccurate kit? Immagine all the complaining here...

But, would THIS set fit the MGS?
Whether it's inaccurate or not?

This set wouldn't fit the MGS As for Accuracy to scale I am finishing my M1130 with slat it was easier than I thought and looks the part compared to the reference material I have on hand I would like to see the M1128 slat set come out as it would be a good kit to build on the Accuracy part the Eduard set I used was fine when you think about it it's just a series of square tubing and flat bars no different to the real thing I hope this clears things up for you Cheers Ben.
