M1135 stryker NBC RV-Trumpeter


Recommended Posts

spent 3 hours on this today

having only ever built armour by Tamiya in the past, im finding this a a different beast altogether.my main gripe is the sprue is very tough and thick,i have broke 2 parts so far cutting the off the sprue :shithappens: thankfully they were repaired with superglue :speak_cool: also the instructions are not as clear as i would like hence the photo below showing the step positioned wrong (it will have to be corrected)

there are so many tiny parts,not lost any yet!! the lower hatch which is only about 15mm square has 15 parts!!!

despite a few niggley problems photoetch assembly being one,its quite fun so far

I look forward to watching this build. I am new to armor and have both a Trumpeter and AFV Stryker kit to build. I'm preparing by building a Tamiya M2 Bradley first.
