Hi all, when you look as this photo you see something that looks like a fire extinguisher like the one they have on strykers, is it the same or is it something else?

And what kind of anntenna is the one with a big black cover on it? On the left rear corner ( see photo link above) and is this antenna included in any model kit with that cover on it?

Is far as I know that antenna is not included in any other kit. I'm sure you could fab one up from the accordian portion of one of the smaller drinking straws typically found with a juice box. As for all of the other gear and antennas in the back, I've just done a thorough walkaround of this variant to add to my existing M-ATV reference, including close ups of the wheel wells, (yes, that is part of the fire suppression system) and all of the wiring, conduit, and ground straps for the commo gear.

I feel your pain. I'm away on business, and only take a mini iPad with me for convenience. (Kind of like Hillary)
I can't do much at all with it as far as posting photos. However, I can post some on the hotel computer. All walk-arounds, including this revised one, should be available in a few more weeks. So those of you who have emailed, you will certainly get your free updates then.

Thanks for the photo Robert. that would be a nice conversion from Legend production, maybe you should talk with Mr Lee about that...

Buy the way, do you know if it is the same fire extinguisher for the TFSS on the M-atv as on the Stryker?

Roger, Robert is correct, I used the accordion portion of a straw to make the cover on mine. Main thing is to make sure you put a Harris Radio set up inside.

Roger, these may help you for now. They're on my camera as I recently took them, but I don't have access to my external hard drive:
