Absolutely. The AFV Club Stryker was a bit of a headache for me because of all the small detailed on it; the grab handles; little bolts and nuts and whatnot, but once you get it all put together and painted; it definitely makes a difference. The addition of the Double V Hull update from Shapeways made a lot of difference… And adding the truck horn on the side (from the AFV Club Stryker Accessory Set) finishes the vehicle well.
I might tackle the Dragoon sometime in the near future.
Looking at the in-box photos The Modelling News: Preview: Two more American classics from I love Kit in November... , it doesn’t look bad but someone who actually has it may differ in opinion. ILK products are generally over-priced and not that good from what I hear. Especially their M3’s are junks from what I’ve gathered. But then these are just off-shoots of Trumpeter brand.
BTW, Hobbyeasy is having a sale on the exact I love myself too much M48A1 kit at a better price (if you don’t mind waiting the slow surface shipping): HobbyEasy | M48A1 Main Battle Tank
