I just picked up a trumpeteer m1130 kit and must say that it looks like a pretty impressive kit. I started doing some research on the kit, and read the large thread over at armorama about all the different slat armor/accessory kits that are made for it.
Onto the questions-
I plan on using the eduard slat armor, I know that the common agreement is that griffon/voyager are of better quality, but I just frankly don't have the cash to shell out the extra $$ for them. Does the eduard kit come with any form of spacer for the slats, I saw that you could buy one seperately, but don't want a double. Does the RHINO anti-IED device attach pretty easily with eduard slat?
My next question comes to the accessories. I am torn between the blast models (the one that all of the pack's/gear is molded into the bins, and the real-model MOLLE set. What are your thoughts on both??
Lastly (for now) I'm digging through some pictures, and the kit that I have has an option for a clear vision block that supports (or atleast is under) the driver's hatch. How common was it for strykers to have this installed during OIF?
thanks in advance,
Jordan
