After watching this video I decided to put this kit high on my list, very nice work. This appears to be the Trumpeter kit, is that right? I've noticed Trumpeter don't make the kits with interiors. I get the feeling they are thinking of selling the same kits several times by adding additions. I really like back loader to have interiors, like the Bradly, it makes it look so much cooler. BTW, do you know what these "Smart Kits" are? Thanks

@tdfisk yes its trumpeter mate, the Bradley kit by Tamiya is only one Ive seen that has an interior. Trumpeter do do building the engine on some kits. I do have the Trumpeter LAV-AT kit 1/35 scale for sale if you want it. It has a Traversable and working AT turret. Never heard of smart kits mate :)

@TankNutDave

Don't worry about that asshole, Dave. Very nice model. Not to detract from your work at all, but next Stryker you build, go with a much darker green. I was in an infantry unit that had Bradleys but we worked with the Stryker guys from the 25th in Baghdad. Those vehicles are covered with tarps, rucksacks, camo netting, water coolers, you name it. Nice model, though!

@mkr8683 asshole?

[TankNutDave]

@TankNutDave who is an asshole?

I can drive the real thing! Like A BOSS!

@TankNutDave It seems strange to me that these Chinese kits have so many parts (often to excess I think), but they don't detail the interior, especially with personnel carriers. Oh well. The smart kits are Dragon and all I've heard is they are easier to assemble. I'll just have to get one and find out. Thanks.

@RaptureandZune why in the world do peeps keep calling a "turret" a turrent?. The word "turrent" is the most stupid word ever. IT IS TURRET GOT IT>

[tommey9]

@TankNutDave in his (mkr8683) opinion is 2011Foxtrot an asshole cause he called u a "fuckin loser" :D

[RaptureandZune]

@tmont007 Yes. The turrent fitting is ok for me (I have seen worse =] ). Nothing a knife and sandpapers can't fix. Be sure to buy the AFV windows anti-glare stickers too, it makes the kit much more realistic.

[tmont007]

@RaptureandZune Hey, is that the AFV one? If so watch out for the turret parts fit. Not great. A real accurate model, but not easy to assemble properly.
