Hey everyone! So I need everyone's help here! I'm trying to get the guys over at Eduard to design and make a Slat Armor set for the M1128 MGS! I know there's interest out there and I know the eduard site forums don't get much publicity were as armorama.com does! So if anyone is interested PLEASE SAY SO HERE OR OVER AT EDUARD! I, and I'm sure some of you, would love to see a slat set from them!

This one is not mine. I found it somewhere on an asian based blog site. PLEASE GUYS, HELP A BROTHER OUT!! Let's get eduard to make an M1128 slat armor set!!!

He's doing an ongoing scratch/smash build that looks pretty cool.
in addition to the M1128 curved armor ,,,, I'd also love to see a M1129 PE set !!!!

I'm want to bash the m1129into the m1128 adding bar and plow

Thanks NBNog!! I saw that too and wow what a great build! Just imagine how much more simple it would be if someone put out a Photo-etch slat for that kit!!

Hi Jason,

have you considere that there is a lot of reference material (photos, drawings) required to make such SLAT armor. It`s useless to make a plea to a manufacturer with no such materials. I guess there a lot stuff out M1126 Stryker Slat but on M1128? Maybe some helpful soul with the neccesary pics is here in the forum?

just my 2 cents

Hermann,

Great suggestion! Would you happen to have any? Maybe a 3 view drawing of M1128 slat? And I'll pose that question to everyone else too! Anyone out there have 3 view drawings of M1128 slat and/or reference photos of it? If so, PM me and send it my way, please! Thanks!

Hi Jason,

unfortunatly I have no pics of any Slat-armored Stryker. But there are a some of soldiers here that might have taken some.
I build my M1128 from Germany based vehicles, using the WWP book as reference. WWP G027 contains some pics of Slat MGS and I know that there are certain connections between Eduard and WWP....
Maybe time will tell.
