Great news! I hope they remember the Anti-RPG kit. That should prove very interesting, indeed.

A couple of these will find their way into my stash. Mostly since the Protector RWS is Norwegian.

First of all, I am estatic from all of this. I've been pushing for a Stryker since I got into modelling, and not my dreams have arrived. Trumpeter has to start somewhere and I wouldn't be suprised if they capitalize on this by using the same chassis and common parts to make other variants in the future (I hope).

From the Webshots prototype photo, this looks like it doesn't have the Slat armor, but personally I don't think a plastic company should make them. This will be a task for Eduard or Verlinden or someone like that. And I guarantee it will be complicated beyond all measure.

Paul, complicated ?? complicated ?? What,,we want easy?? Since when was our hobby complicated ?? Hobbies arent meant to be that way. I agree with you anyway....but it sure will be fun huh? I dont even care if bronco releases one since thiers may cost an arm and a leg.

This is going to be a good year, Aussie Centurion, Stryker, (maybe a Char B ), open up the pocket books people, looks like thier some more spending to do.
