can i make Trumpy's 1132 ESV into a 1126 ICV?

I will say yes; the only thing I noticed is the front lower glacis panel has a cut-out for the farm implement mounts and molded on wiring, but it would be easy enough to scratchbuild new plates. I think everything else is there for a basic M1126. I suppose there is the question of why though, especially when the AFV Club M1126 can be found for a good price.

i would like to do a 1126 with mine roller

Oh, OK. I thought just the M1132's would be the ones with the mine rollers.

Rollers only on the 1132? Not based on Frenchies latest find:

Hello Ian,

according to Frenchy`s picture, the mine roller is not the Lightweight Mine Roller of the M1132, rather a variation of the SPARK set. The roller is attached to the M1126 front tie-downs and not to the Jettison Fitting Kit of the M1132. I am not sure if the LMR is able to operate on long distances.

I found this photo on Prime Portal . I think it's for evaluation when the rollers were just coming out. Still haven't seen photos of an Iraq/Afghanistan based M1126 with mine rollers.

Jim

is this a 1126?

in all honesty i'm not looking for complete accuracy. i saw a pic of a Stryker with the rollers, slat, blast shields and overhead camnets and thought it looked pretty cool.
