Frenchy,

Figures you'd have pics of Strykers being hauled!!!! Do you happen to have any more pics of strykers that arent damaged being hauled. I saw the last one there and that helps big time!! Also, did M1070's equip the DUKE antennas? If so, any pics of that being mounted? Again HUGE thanks! Can you tell where I'm going with this??

All (...IIRC) the pics I've seen of DUKE-fitted M1070s show them fitted with the CPK armored cab as well, like this one :



so putting a DUKE antenna on your truck may imply more work

Here are more damaged Strykers :





I'll try to find one in a better shape

Frenchy,

Haha! That's awesome!! No worries on the CPK. Already have: the resin engine, CPK, Real Models interior, ET model resin wheels for the tractor, ET Model photo etch interior with the radio and MFD resin parts, ET Model M1070 exterior upgrade stuff and of course one of two Strykers will be hauled, an M1127 or M1130. And I have slat armor for both along with photo etch exteriors. So, this will be big... Very big! Any other pics of up to date HET's would be HUGELY appreciated!

If you're questioning my sanity then yes I have mentally checked out and then check out my M1132 with slat armor and interior! It's somewhere around here on armorama!
