While I love the gun Stryker, I wish the companies would instead update the still-operational Stryker variants in 1/35 styrene. I’d even enjoy some of the prototype variants we see from time to time that were never built in numbers. The MGS is dead, let it rest in piece.

Aren’t most armor subjects “dead”? Why not do this version? I imagine that they will do other versions as well.

They are, but in this case there are plenty of ‘living’ variants yet unkitted. Even the dragoon Stryker is being replaced. It’s the same argument as the M88A2 - big impressive vehicle with no styrene kit but also there’s an M88A3 in the works. They will kit the exact Tiger tank that came from Factory X on May 15th 1943 at 1:27 in the afternoon but leave the M88A2 unkitted.

You are absolutely correct, though I think the Herc ought to be at least as popular as the MGS. Maybe we could point out the fact that 8 Hercules were sent to Ukraine? We would have to pick the random blocks of explosive armor off but it would be styrene!

I think me and you would get alone quite well the modern US vehicles are underrepresented outside of the Brad and Abrams. I’m also excited about the progress for the HEMTTs and a small push for a new HUMWV but there are many more that are needed.

Yes sir! I’ve been hoping that sales to Ukraine will motivate companies to kit more modern US and NATO vehicles.
