Not to hijack other people´s posts, I open this new one to ask a couple of questions about this Stryker version

Were the ones deployed in Iraq/Stan equipped with bird-cage armor or any other additional protection devices, such as MPK or DEK?

Should all the vehicles deployed in Germany carry the traffic lights on the back?

I still did not decide where to "deploy" the one I´m building, guess that the extra work needed will make me take the final decision, so any advice will be welcome

Hello Hugh,

I recommend you building the Trumpeter NBC RV deployed in Germany. I hardly believe that the vehicles in Iraq or Afghanistan would carry Slat armor or Anti IED devices since they are hardly used for patrol duties. I build my NBC RV from 2nd SCR as I saw it on exercises. But I kitbash it with the AFV Club kit, so I can build the latest details on that are not included in the Trumpeter kit.

Thanks for your help gents!
I'm not going for a build log since I' close to end the building of the model, but will try to place some pics ASAP
