Check out Preview pictures of Taowan 1/6th scale full metal Stryker - M1126 ICV

The IAV Stryker is a family of eight-wheeled, 4-wheel-drive (8x4), armored fighting vehicles derived from the Canadian LAV III and produced by General Dynamics Land Systems, in use by the United States Army. The vehicle is named for two American servicemen who posthumously received the Medal of Honor: Private First Class Stuart S. Stryker, who died in World War II and Specialist Four Robert F. Stryker, who died in the Vietnam War.[source: wiki]

The first Stryker brigades were deployed to Iraq in October 2003. 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division from Fort Lewis was the first to field and deploy the Stryker vehicle to combat in Iraq from November 2003 to November 2004.

This is the TAOWAN 1/6th scale Full Metal STRYKER M1126 ICV (coming soon) and WOW! It looks very nice! Most of us will probably never get this because of the price PLUS the shipping costs! Imagine it - FULL METAL (Ouch!) It's going to hurt the pocket and burn a BIG hole in it. Even If I wanted to, where am I going to park it haha


Still, what a sight to behold ;p


Nice to look at, gawk at but I'll rather have more troops than put them inside the Stryker and hidden from view. Less bulky vehicles mean more space for figures.
