M1126 "Stryker" (ICV)
AFV Club Kit No. AF 35126
Assembled parts
(with comparison of Trumpeter parts in grey plastic)
Head light clusters
Detail on AFV Club lights better match actual detail.
Please excuse the mis-aligned AFV Club indicator lense as I didn't notice this till after the pics were done.
Front winch
AFV Club assembly has the mounting pins and is more detailed than the Trumpeter winch.
Weapons station
AFV Club RWS has excellent details and includes all the detail missing from the Trumpeter RWS.
Trumpeter Issues:
On the mounting itself the large optic device on the upper right side (1) is missing altogether as are the rain/sun shields over the lenses (2) which are quite prominent features. Missing from the ammo box is the circular cover for the main RWS sight which is velcroed to the front of the ammo box when not in use (3) and the shell ejection chutes are missing.
The smoke grenade launchers are very basic and lack the base plate
(4) as well as the rear wiring and the mounting fairings are moulded
square but should have rounded edges, easy enough to fix. The smoke
grenades themselves are again very basic in appearance and most are
actually fitted with dust covers or caps unless immediate use is
eminent.
