Tom B.Welcome in, both of you! The figures are from MiG Productions and are really high-quality which should make them a joy to paint later 👍

Simon NagorsnikHey, cool project!
I´ll follow!
Would you also say that this kit is better than the Stryker that Dragon offers?
Even if it's older, I think the quality of the details is worlds better.
Ps.: nice PE work 😉

Tom B.Welcome in, Simon 👍 Unfortunately, I am familiar with Dragon´s Stryker only from pictures... for a standard M1126 ICV arguments can be made for either Trumpeter or Academy, although the Academy wheels need replacement. In case you want a M1128 MGS or a Dragoon, just take the 3R kits, as Dragon´s offering appears to be "bulky" in places

Simon NagorsnikThe Dragon kits are easy build, but the ones from 3R are really great (except the tires), I hope that their pickups will be available one day 😉
Anyway, good luck!

Tom B.@Simon: Using plastic sheets for the sides is my first try to bring in a more „sleek" modern look. Currently the sides are masked off for the further painting process, but I am curious how it will look in the end. For non-modern subjects, I will however stick with wooden sides for the base (also painted in black).

Simon NagorsnikYou may want to take a look at this:
obi.at/kunststoffbed..m-x-100-cm/p/7687304
I discovered this by chance in the Obi store and it works quite well.
It is stable and can be excellently processed, glueing, cutting, grinding etc.
It's a bit softer than regular plastic sheet, but works really good for making straight sides for bases or even for use in diorama construction- and it's cheap.
If you have the opportunity, I would recommend you to try it.

Tom B.Thx for the encouraging comments 👍 The project did indeed end up being a lot like what I´ve imagined when starting. Got a place in my new display cabinet right next to the DAK dio I did before 🙂

Album info
Building Academy´s 1/72 M1126 Stryker ICV with quite a bit of extra "bling" in form of PE and resin detail sets including stowaage and wheels. Some figures from Mig Production´s 1/72 US Modern Crew set will give some life to the vehicle. As for the base, I will go with a somewhat beaten up small country road and some low vegetation.
