HI Everyone

could I get away with fitting the same tyres as fitted to the new dragon version of Stryker or is it just this version with them
I am trying to match a tyre in 1/24 scale

I've only seen the new Stryker wheels on the V-hulled Strykers and the Dragoon, but I'd guess they will find their way to all of the vehicles eventually. If you are building a flat bottomed hull stryker, I'd say your better bet would be the old style wheels

I second Jasons opinion on the wheels. May I ask which version of the Stryker to you plan to build?

Hi

so if I can find a picture of the new wheels on a M1128 MGS then that maybe my main one.,
At the moment I am just looking at several just need to find a walk around of the newer versions, and sorting a few things out before I start but currently it is in the planning and drawing stage . found pictures of them in Syria with new hulls with the wheels I want to build.
just unsure yet .

M1126/M1256 Infantry Carrier Vehicle flat or V hull
M1129/M1252 Mortar Carrier
M1132/M1257. Engineer Squad Vehicle
M1130/M1255 Command Vehicle
M1133/M1254 Medical Evacuation Vehicle

researching now the idea then finalise before building stage
Thanks

Ossie

Double-V hull is attached to the lower hull and doesn´t affect the hull front and side.
