3R Model 1/72 Stryker
3R Model 1/72 Stryker
Here are some pictures of my 3R Model Stryker build. I can certainly recommend it. In this case I did just a little scratch building and used aftermarket wheels but the basic kit is very nice and the aftermarket items are not really required to build a good model. Fit is fine. No unfair challenges in the build.
Cheers,

That could pass for 1/35 easily. Nice weathering.

Had to double check the scale. Thought it was much larger. Excellent work.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

That is looking really nice, especially the dust effect on the wheels?

Very nicely done! Must admit from the rear I wondered if the turret was taken from an old Daimler AC or similar.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

That is a top class piece of small scale armour modelling, Paul, it really looks the business.

Beautiful, sharp-looking result as always, Paul! The dusty look on the lower hull and wheels is particularly good. I can't believe the detail and crispness you achieve, especially in a small scale! :O

Great result, even better considering it's 1/72

Re: 3R Model 1/72 Stryker
Nice work, and a plethora of details. Those tires look very heavy duty.
