Hey there! Just saw that you were trying to make the periscopes look realistic. Try AFV Club's anti-reflection stickers. Sprue Brothers should have them. Actually, here's the link. Click it and it should take you directly to the item. Looks great when you get them on! Anyways here you go:

Not trying to hijack your thread but here's a pic of how they turn out! All the lenses on my Bradley got the AFV Club sticker treatment. Hope that helps!
Hey Abramsguy21,
What paint color and manufacturer did you use to paint the Bradley???

I welcome pics from anyone, so no worries.
Awesome Bradley and great idea. Had no idea AFV made these. Gave me an excuse to order some items from Sprue
Hopefully they will be sent out tomorrow, before any snowstorms...

Slow going, but still cleaning and gluing. The detail is great, but really makes for a slow build.
While building this vehicle a funny question came up. With its current armor, this vehicle would seem to be a death trap for anything above small arms fire. I know slats can be added to protect against rocket attacks. Should they run into a recoiless gun(which are quite common) it seems they would be destroyed. Also, the bottom of the vehicle would suffer badly from IED's because of its shape. And god help you if enemy armor should come into play. It would be a cheap platform for carrying a large caliber gun...but I am not seeing the practicality of its use as a infantry carrier.

Speaking of football...that was some game last night.
I play "Beat The Insiders" and had chosen the 'Bears'...not expecting to win. The Giants are having a very rough year.

Raiders or Chargers fan?
Actually, I am a Vikings fan (since 1970) and they are on a -by, this week. I just love having football on while I am modelling.
And thanks for those links...I am checking them out, now...

Hello everybody...
While the paint is drying on another model, I thought I would start a build on here. This will be my third model, so you will have to excuse any mistakes that are made
I bought the AFV as an open-box and hope that all the parts are there. If not, I guess we will make do. This model looks very busy and should tax the old brain cells, a bit. I am a big fan of building from the box...nothing wrong with aftermarket, though.
Anyway, so here we go...
AFV M1130 Stryker CV/TACP
in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress

Hey peeps,
Sorry, about dropping off the earth. Some medical issues have come up and derailed my modelling. I am hoping to continue after Christmas (or as soon as possible). Just wanted to let you guys know that and appreciate all the help with the Stryker. Can't wait to jump back in!
