Very nice review indeed. Trumpeter does seem to have problems gettin gsome of the details right. I might point out that my Stryker CD does cover this variant, and with well over 1000 images, it is still the best deal around.

Jim, great review. Picked this out as soon as it came out as I was in the Chemical Corps from 93 to 01.

Re your comment in the review: Curiously it does not contain any other extras that are in some other newer Trumpeter Stryker kits like ration and drink boxes.

Operating in an NBC environment, nothing would be stowed outside the vehicle that could not be decontaminated or would lead to exposure to the NBC specialists. Everything would be inside the vehicle, buttoned-up tight.
