A few years ago, there was a Chinese member who worked with Trumpeter in some capacity (I believe the R&D team) and he used to post pics of their masters here on the site (I believe his name was GAOYUE.. or something close to that).. and I distinctly remember he once said that Trumpeter was working on plastic slat for their Strykers and that it was just a matter of time... But nothing came of it.. and then he just disappeared!

But it does seem quite doable now

I don't know either. He used to be my contact there, and even his email address is no longer valid. I know that some employees bail for another company, but not sure what his deal is.

Would be nice of Bronco to produce some more vehicles fitted with Slat.

There is certainly a market for it.

Hopping that Bronco does a Husky with slat/bar armor. I know Panda has one in the works, but it looks like no slat armor
