Isnt Trumpeter making a Stryker too?



...and Dragon. But I think he was asking if anybody knew details about the AFV Club offering. It does not appear there is anything on this, or the Dragon model either. The only thing out there right now is Trumpeter's master that has been shown at shows. It can be seen on Prime Portal and at USA IPMS website. The master has some deficiencies but maybe they will be corrected before the model comes out. Trumpeter at one time claimed it was coming out at the end of 06. I hope so, but I can wait for it if it will be more accurate later.

That is what I know on the Stryker front. And Dragon announced they will be doing the family, but no indication which variants beyond the ICV. With Dragon's leanings towards PE and whatnot, they could do some very cool stuff with their kits, even without doing slat armor. There actually is more to the ICV than what you see in the Trumpeter master and public affairs photos - forget about Iraq photos for the moment since the slat and stowage get in the way of details too much.

Now, with all the various manufacturers announcing their versoins, will one provide an interior? Like with the M88 from AFV, no guts, and a German aftermarket resin kit was the alternative.

If anyone does do an interior, the ICV should logically be the Stryker to do it for.

I've been inside and took photos of the ICV interior. It's nice...bright white and shiny smooth with lots of doodads and detail!
