Hello there guys and thanks to all of you for your feedback!

We really appreciate what you're doing here, because it helps us research the market and your needs more properly - good stuff!

If you want, you can make things a bit easier for us by giving thumbs-up to the former Jason idea, published right here at Eduard Product Requests forum:
http://helpdesk.eduard.com/entries/21306403-m1128-mgs-slat-armour

By giving thumbs-up to Jason's idea and commenting on this topic, you can help us decide and eventually deliver you the detail sets more quickly.

If you can, specify the manufacturer or/and desired details - just this will help us a lot.

I don't mean to leach discussion from this thread, but when I find similar threads, the best/easiest thing to do is to redirect you guys on our forums to discuss the topic, as Eduard then can keep overview of things.

Let the discussion flow further. We're here, listening.

Just some additional notes on the SPARK, the initial SPARK roller as I understand it is just Pearson's Light Weight Mine Roller as designed for the M1132 Stryker ESV, but with different mounting hardware. Specialized brackets were then developed for different vehicles.

Also, in 2009, an improved version of the SPARK roller with a center roller was introduced and then in 2010 Pearson got a sole-source contract to build the improved SPARK II roller (clearly designed to provide more consistent coverage in front of the vehicle).

Frenchy, thanks for the pics. Do you have the last one in high resolution, too? (the one with the Cheerleaders)


Need some "chassis" close-ups ?

We need some AM manufacturer to pick up on the MGS slat already. Scratch building in this complexity is beyond my skills, but assembling it from PE would be fine.

Johannes,

Please go over to eduard.com and let them know! I've already started a thread over there on MGS Slat. I've sent them a few emails in regards to it. But they say there's not enough demand for it. So if you let them know maybe they can get started on designing a set!!


Hi Jason,

sorry for my late reply, but I just went to the Eduard site, registered, posted and gave your proposal a "thumbs up". I really hope they go through with it. Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware there was such a platform for product requests.
I know a lot of people who are also interested in a Slat Armor for the MGS, I'll let them know, too. Let's hope they also post over at Eduard's request page!

Hi Libor,

as just posted: Wonderful feature on your website, that's something unique! A great opportunity for us regular modellers to get in touch with a manufacturer. Thanks for the efforts you put in there.

The usual question: Any high-res pics available for these three (the last three that is)?


Everyone interested in a MGS slat (et al.), please go over to said Eduard site and comment on Jason's topic!


Thanks!

So where? I am interested!


Also, speaking of Stykers (and hope this isn't high-jacking the thread) but what function do the suspension covers provide (besides covering) on some versions?

Looking at getting a kit and saw that covers in PE being offered.


Thanks!
