Hello
I’ve been lurking for a week or so now, time to start making posts. So here goes post number one.
I have been interested in the new Stryker APC being used in Iraq, I have done some looking around. Mostly on Ebay… nearest LHS is 90 mi away.
Does anyone know of a kit available for this vehicle yet? or is it just too new??
If there is a kit, where do I get my paws on one…
Thanks bunches

No kit yet. Tiger Models is supposedly working on a resin version. Still no release date.
Welcome to the boards!!
Last year Tiger Models said they would have several versions available by the time of the AMPS nationals. Do a search on the modern discussion board at missing-lynx.com. You should be able to find their post about the Stryker. HTH
Thank you all for the rapid response.
Guess I 'll have to wait a bit. Not ready for a Scratchbuild yet.

look for USMC LAV-25 models. Vehicle is the same, with minor variations. Think Italeri makes several variants (TOW, command, etc.) that would be more than easy to convert.
Actually, the Stryker only looks simmilar to a LAV-25. The LAV Gen III that the Stryker is based on is longer, wider, and higher than a LAV-25. It also has different angles to it. Different tires/wheels, etc.etc. They are not that close. That is why no one has come out witha simple conversion set to convert a LAV-25 into a Stryker. Sorry, it is not that easy.
