Title: Preview, 1:56 Stryker MGS
Post by: CompanyB on August 04, 2011, 06:38:26 AM

Initial casts from JTFM of our Stryker MGS kit.  Looks great!  Jeff at JTFM did an amazing job on this and captured all the detail that has gone into this model.  The turret is all one piece! (including all the details!)  Only additions to the turret are the small sensor, and the sighting periscope (not pictured) which can be in the up position, or left off and capped with a hatch.  For this model, I'll be using magnets to allow me to swap them out.

Should have these stocked by the end of the month or early September, about the same time the Lenco Bearcats become available.

Even looks good as a zombie hunting vehicle.

They work well together, you got your humvee painted before I got your stryker done  :'(

Nice turret, too, you beat me to it  :D

Ha...Well, your hummer fits the bill, perfect size.Just need to scratch built the add-on armor for my other one on the paint bench.  Next project is a proper set of NATO and military police markings for the Humvee and of course proper Stryker Crews and soldiers.

You get H1 wagon started yet  ;)   My Foundry police need a good ride...

Very nice Stryker... Sad my collection is mainly 1/72 and 1/64 scaled (even if I  still have some Fenris and FoA Humvees to paint  :? )
