Hi guys,

I'm starting to build my AFV club M1130 Stryker.
Now i want to add the blast panels from Eduard, but i ran into a problem.
If I add the panel at the rear of the vehicle, where do I put the antennas ( HF or CLSM )
The space is blocked by the panel.

Anyone has the solution ?

TIA !!!

Thanks so much for the question!
I'm going through all my Reference photos looking for an answer for you. (so far it seems like a small shelf is welded on the panel) Most people tend to photograph the front of the Stryker; and not the back....

So far I have found some very interesting variations I never noticed before....

I even found a grail of mine; a photo of a M1128 with 'raised' extra lights...

I'm gonna keep looking for a while more and then post some shots soon!

There is a metal shelf that goes where griffon shows a small stump
... you can see the M1126 stump in Griffon model shots of their slat/blast armor....
google: Griffon model slat..... you can see it on some shots....

Here's one of the best shots I found....

Hey, C Johnson,

Thanks for that picture !
That would mean that the antenna goes on top of part 15/16/38 as shown in the instructions on page 3 from Eduard nr.36017 !!
