Great conversion, nice done. What kind of PE parts did you use for the A/C unit? The PE parts are the only obstacle for me to do a build myself.

P.S. If you want to add bumper codes, I saw an MGS over here from 2nd SCR that has the bumper code 4/2 CAV W-41

Hi Hermann
The PEs for the fan cover are from the rear AC units of MENG's M2A3s, they are a little bit oversized, but they are the closest thing i can get.

PS: Im very glad you guys like my build.

I guess scratchbuilt element is a "Driver Enhancement Kit"
.


Real Model has released it, with also another kit for the "Mine Protection Kit"

Hi Jason,
didn`t came up with the idea of using the Meng Bradley parts.
Now I can build on MGS after finishing another HMMWV kit.

Never saw one with those A/C units mounted. Was that an OIF modification or are they been fielded currently? They look pretty susceptible to getting ripped off while driving in urban areas / woods.

The A/C unit is a more recent addition post-OIF. There were issues with the on-board computers overheating in the hot desert environs. They are being added to all Stryker variants.

Nice work! The A/C unit is really eye catching with the thin grills and mesh.
