Even more images of Trumpeter's Stryker RV in 1/35th scale
Previously covered in a report on the releases for later in this year, this is an update on the previous images of:

395 - M1127 Stryker Reconnaissance Vehicle (RV)

The details we were provided with are as follows:

The differences between this kit and the M1126 variant are the newly tooled 141parts on 6 sprues to reproduce the features for M1127, including 50cal. & M2407.62mm machine guns, smoke launcher & four infantry figures. Kit consists of 440 parts on 15 sprues.
Features:

Converted one-piece multi-slide molded lower hull, underside detailed suspension, central drive train with differentials and drive shafts, rear panel with separate ramp and crew entry doors, inside/outside latch handles, large jerry can racks, rubber tires and newly 2-directional slide molded upper hull. Also includes three sheets of photo-etch parts for the machine gun & jerry can mounts. Markings for US Army.

Once again, my thanks to Vince for continuing to make these available to the Network!

Interesting version of the Stryker. It seems like some of lacking details on the first Trumpeter stryker have been fixed on this one - at least on the weapons station which looks different on the RV. I still have not decided which Stryker to go for. Thanks for the update

I just recieved mine and Trumpeter is getting the most part of my kit budget. What other company gives you more of a bang for your buck? Besides slat armor and glue,it has everything. Stowage,tie down straps,masking for windshield,beverage and ration boxes,3 figures and what I love about Trumpeter is the option between using PE or molded parts. They are fast becoming or actually are the best for modern kit builders.

My only concern about the Stryker is the statement I saw elsewhere that ALL of them have slat armor if they were in Iraq or Afghanistan. The slat armor PE upgrades are - Ouch - up to $125!!!!

Oops. Should stick to Wehrmacht vehicles where I'm not so far out of my element. But that doesn't change the part about slat armor for anything deployed into combat, correct? Man, $125+, that's a whole quarter's worth of kit- and supply-buying.

Yes, all Strykers deployed ti combat (i.e. Iraq) have the slat armor installed. You can build one in a training environment in Germany or stateside without slat though.
