Responsibility details are not available.
This kit from the maker Trumpeter captures the engineer version of the American wheeled armored personnel carrier Stryker, designated M1132, in the form with the SOB front blade. A scale of 1:72 is a rewarding one for modern vehicles: the model takes up little room, can be built in a reasonable time and is easily added to a collection beside aircraft and helicopters of the same format.
The Stryker is an American eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier with a great many specialized versions derived from a common base. The M1132 version is an engineer vehicle which, besides carrying an engineer squad, bears working equipment for clearing obstacles. The abbreviation SOB denotes the front blade meant for clearing surface obstacles – it is this feature that gives the model its characteristic silhouette with a prominent piece of equipment ahead of the bow.
The same manufacturer offers two versions of the M1132 vehicle in the same scale, and they differ precisely in the engineer equipment fitted. This item is the version with the SOB front blade; the other carries different equipment. If you are after a particular form of the vehicle, check the designation of the equipment in the name, because it may not be obvious at a glance from a picture of the box.
With wheeled armored vehicles the basis is a cleanly assembled chassis: fit the wheels only after painting and make sure all eight sit in one plane, or the model will rock on its base. The armor plates and the slat armor have sharp edges that are worth picking out by dry-brushing. Leave the blade and the engineer equipment separate until the end; they are easier to paint and to weather that way. A vehicle in service carries dust chiefly on the lower hull, on the wheels and around the blade, where there is also room for wear down to bare metal.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
