I just managed to squeeze this fourth one over the finish line before October. It was fairly easy to do so I pressed on.
This is the Dragon 1/72 scale M-1128 Stryker MGS, the second of the specialty Strykers I'm trying to get.
Not much to say about it; I weathered it lightly with Tamiya weathering powders. It's done straight out of the box.
Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Re: The Duke Finishes Another in September
Thank you Carlos! I'm pretty happy with it too. We'll see what the judges think at Orangecon.
Thank you Mike! I do too! I do have one more to get and build to complete the set of these released by Dragon. Christmas is coming!

Re: The Duke Finishes Another in September
A whole set? What scale would they be?

Re: The Duke Finishes Another in September
Hey Mike, it's me, the Duke... I only build in the One True Scale: 1/72!
There are a total of four Stryker variants: The standard one, the ATGM one, and the MGS with the Dragoon being the last one. Once I get and build a Dragoon, I'll have the whole set.
Leopards have more in that set......

Re: The Duke Finishes Another in September
Mark there are a few more Stryker variants I can think of: an Engineer vehicle, a mortar carrier, a command vehicle, and an ambulance variant.

Very cool. An armor piece I might do - no tracks
Thanks,

Re: The Duke Finishes Another in September
This is true, but unless and until they bring out kits of those variants in my scale, I'll call mine complete after the Dragoon. I don't have the skills to modify something well enough to do any of those using current kits.Stikpusher wrote:Mark there are a few more Stryker variants I can think of: an Engineer vehicle, a mortar carrier, a command vehicle, and an ambulance variant.

Thank you. Yes, they are a bit easier to do, but then you have the issue of making the wheels all line up and touch the ground. I'm working on a Roden 8-wheeled SdKfz234/4 pakwagen that always lifts at least one wheel and sometimes more; every time I check it!
Thanks again guys! Now to see what I can finish in October!
