is anyone interesting in doing a model of the new strykers? if so i can get pictures, being that i am at the place where they are being first use. i do have a flyer that i can scan that might also help. it describes a little about the vehicle and the different configurations.

I'd love to do several of the variants, but from what I hear, it's a long way away from the LAVs that are on the market. I bet Italeri will crank one out once it is brought into full-scale production.

Up in Ft Lewis, Huh. I just PCS'd from there, kinda glad I left.
Be careful though, from what I remember they weren't too fond of picture taking when I left.

The pic is a version called the MGS, or mobile gun system. One of at least 10 variants of the vehicle.

i'll see what i can do about getting pictures. there are at least 12 of them park down on the other end of the airfield from me so it won't be to hard. think most of the pictures will be the outside of the vehicle like the man said they aren't to fond of picture taking. i think there's a fuchs and a luchs parked outside the hanger next door to if anyone is interested.

with all the help from everything with their links looks like i might not have to go get pictures. unless of course anyone has a request. think there's a t 72 sitting over at the museum that needs some attention.
