The first one is the new FMTV for the US Army, M1078, the other is the M1128 Stryker Mobile Gun System with 105mm gun
News brought over from our friends at Armorama.
Finally…someone building some US items other than a Sheman. Not exactly what I personally was looking for but I will take it.
Now it will end up taking 6 months to come out and another six months for the premium price to calm down…but I can wait
Rounds Complete!!
They look good. I am looking forward to the M1078. The second one is not the Stryker MGS though. It is an Italian Centauro Armoured car. The Stryker MGS does not have a turret, but just the gun and its auto-loader up top.

I was happy seeing the M1078 into a kit. I have not seen pictures of the MGS, but I assumed it was. Even stilll it is a good looking vehicle. You remind me now of the autoloader and I remember one shot of it a while back…Well we are all human…I was caught up in the excitement.
In either case…its not a Sherman or a Tiger…no offense to our other members but its about time we move past WWII. Oh you can still have all the pz you want but…There is a lot more to the world of armor that still has not been made!
I’m sure since Trumpter has the Stryker, eventually we will see the MGS variant.
Rounds Complete!!
yeah i cant waite till trum releases thier new lav recovery kit thats suppose to be out in the spring 08 as for the m-1078 it will find its way in my stash of growing armor.
No problem, the Centauro and Stryker MGS do look similar. Trumpeter does have the Stryker MGS on their future kit lists too.
The Trump LAV-R (Recovery) vehicle is out, it has been since last fall. I did a review of it at Armorama in October.
The Centauro! At last! I’ve been waiting for a 1:35 of this for years! I think there’s a resin, I’ve seen photos from European model shows, but a regular injection-mold is great news. Now I’ll just have to save up…

[#ditto]!!!
Great news btw! I can’t wait for the Centauro to come out, As I was about to drop 160$ on the Model Victoria resin kit, but I’m sure this 'll be much easier on the wallet!
Thanks for sharing Redleg!
