Hello all!! After completing the model T-90, I decided that I will build something without caterpillars. My choice is the M1127 Stryker from Trumpeter. I know that this model is not very accurate, which is why, all the problems, I decided to solve by using of photo-etched sets from Eduard.
First, the basic is 36061:



The second set is 36063, Racks and belts:



And finally the third set, 36093 Stowage belts



I, also, decided to replace the main weapon of Stryker. Instead of M2 Browning, I'm going to equip a model in this weapon:



40mm Granade Machine Gun Mk19-3.
In addition, I also want to replace the rear machine gun. Trumpeter`s rifle is a little poor, so I`ll replace it with this:



This rifle, the M240B which additionally equipped with a scope.
Browsing the Internet, we found some interesting pictures of the vehicle. I liked the most:







I most liked the shield which protects the gunner called Clear Gunner Shield. I decided that I would do such a shield with my own hands.

OK then. Enough of writing, the time for photos, what I've done so far:

















And here GSK by Grzegorz :







And temporarily mounted with a machine gun:







Of course GSK has not yet had finished, but soon will be done. I hope that you like it. I invite you to watch. Regards. Grzegorz

Nice looking build...

_ . _ Looking forward to seeing more...

It's ging to rock with all thos extras. Nice job on the shield!

Wow, I'll follow. I like PE and when the guy who build it is a great modeller...

Cheers!

Hello. And here's my Stryker. I started working with photo etched parts. In addition to the photo-etched, I also use plastic pieces of this set:







This set is designed for models of AFV Club, but is ideal for Trumpeter. Ok, now more pics of my Stryker:






























That`s it for now. More photos next week.

Nice clean build so far. Very neat & tidy looking...

Thank you Sean. And here is a little update of my topic. This time Stryker with new, DEF Models, sagged wheels and one headlight. Ok now photos:














That is it for now. Thanks for watching. Best regards.

Hello all. After short break, I`m coming back with my Stryker. And here is what I`ve done :















Still a lot of work to do and no time at all, but I`m not giving up. I hope you like it. Best regards

Hello all. This time a little bit of details. Here is what I`ve done with the M2 Browning mg. It`s a mix of AFV Club, Trumpeter, Eduard and skratch build:









Best Regards

Superb work!!! Thank you for sharing.

Are you planning to add stowage?

Thank You Nikos. Yes, I will add some stowage. It will be mix of 2 sets:

Meng:



Tamiya:



I`m going to add a razor wire from Eduard as well

Looks great until now.
What's about the Live Resin Weapons, will you attach them to the Stryker ?

Thomas

Nice work Grzegorz! I wonder what you think of the Meng equipment, looks quite oversized.
Looking forward to your progress!

Thanks Thomas. I don't know what to do . I like the mg i've done, but I like the granade launcher as well. Probably i will do another balistic shield, attach it to the granade launcher and i will be doing swap every week

@Grzegorz

Excellent work! Lots of PE and AM and it does make the Stryker look good, but I think I like the scratch-build GSK and additions on the M2 best. Good skills!

I will be following closely.

Hello !! I`m back. And here is my Stryker with a new gun from Live Resin. Like I said before, it`s a 40 mm granade launcher MK19-3. Here is some pics:



















That`s it for now. I hope you will like it. Best regards.

Hi Grzegorz,
looks pretty good.

I also have 4 Strykers in my Stash and one of them should get this weapon station as well.

Best regards
Thomas

Keep on the good work Grzegorz,
for your info, the M2 barrel as you depict it is a blank firing device so only good for training purposes.

Olivier

Thank you Olivier. I know that M19 BFA is for training only, but that was my plan. Basically, I`m going to build one of the Strykers from 4th Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment “Saber”. The inspiration for me, is this website:

http://tank-masters.de/?page_id=1733

As you can see, these photos were taken during exercise in Germany.
I decided to replace the M2 Browning on the MK19 grenade launcher, because doing blank firing adapter, I did not know completely how the device looks exactly and I made a big mistake. At the moment, I am waiting for photo-etched clear gunner shield, which prepares my colleague. Soon I will show photos. Best regards.

Hello. After long break, I`m coming back, and I`m realy close to the end of a build. Here is some pics:





















Best regards

Hello!! A very long break again, but i can`t help it. I want to show you what I`ve done with my Stryker. First of all, I put the stowage belts on, from Eduard, and than I`ve applied a colour ( gunze H 303 ). That`s how it looks right now:













Stowage belts before painting:



Best regards.

Looks amazing!

Very nice work.

And here it is:

Hello again. My Stryker is nearly done:













I`m still waiting for the balistic shield, but I hope, I will get it soon. Best regards
