Hi guys,

I just bought myself the Trumpeter M-1131 and since he almost looks the same as the M-1127 i want to built something different.
Are there any pictures of the crane ( as provided in the kit ) lifting the sensor for mounting/dismounting ?

TIA !!

Hi Ge,
I havn`t seen the sensor being removed. But before you start such a project, please consult my Stryker pics at Primeportal. I think that Trumpeter made a mistake with the hoist on one of the kits.
Cheers

Hi H-H,

Yes I did see your pictures at PrimePortal.
It seems that the foot of the crane is different. It has a black tube in which the crane is mounted.
I think I can solve that problem with Evergreentube.

Thanks anyway !

Hi guys,

Another question about the M1131, some Strykers have the Hull Protection Kit ( HPK ) attached, but how ?
Is it attached to the slat armour or to the vehicle itself ?
