I've started mine about a month ago. Finally got the basic vehicle done, took a little break to work on another project before starting that surface mine plow. That's a kit in itself!!

I can tell you that the Stryker itself just about falls together. The plow....I can only hope! LOL!!

You tease!!  Kiss

What color is that you used on the steering linkages?  Looks like XF-56...Tamiya's Metallic Gray.

Good job so far!  Keep us posted!

Looks like the build is going well.  A few points though.  Even though the different colored suspension parts may look neat, they are not accurate.  All of the underside is sprayed forest green, just like the rest of the hull.  There are not different colors for the differentials and steering arms, or any other parts. 

The rear light lenses should be all red.  There is no clear back-up light on them.  The light colored slits below the lenses are part of the black-out drive system and have a couple small slits that glow red to guide a following vehicle in low light conditions.

The fuel can (mounted on the left side) should be a darker khaki brown color, not sand.

The water cans san be found in sand, black, or (less common) dark green.

It is looking good.  Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

It is never too late to fix something.  On my screen both the fuel can and the water can look the same color, a sandy-tan color.

This pic shows them.  On the left is a fuel can, on the right is a water can.

I don't get the whole "I like in my models to give a personal touch, even if it is exactly equal to the original" thing.  Why not make it how it actually looks as opposed to some artistic, fictional representation?  Whatever works for you though.  To each their own.

Ok, this kit is very interesting and complete with many details, has 875 pieces useful "You can make several changes"

It should be very careful in its construction!
