M1127 Stryker RV, 1/35 - Trumpeter 00395

The M1127 Stryker RV Trumpeter 00395 is a static model kit at 1/35 depicting the M1127 Stryker reconnaissance vehicle of the United States Army. This reference reproduces the RV version (Reconnaissance Vehicle), designed for reconnaissance and surveillance missions within the Stryker wheeled armored vehicle family.

The M1127 offers a particularly interesting contemporary subject for a modern military scene, a patrol diorama, or a collection dedicated to American armored vehicles. Its eight-wheel architecture and dedicated reconnaissance equipment make it an identifiable variant within the Stryker lineup.

Trumpeter offers here a military vehicle kit to be assembled consisting of 440 parts. The box includes 15 sprues, a lower hull, an upper hull, and 8 rubber tires. Three photo-etched parts are also included. The decal sheet allows you to create a decoration for the US Army.

Once built, the model measures 215 mm long, 84 mm wide and 116 mm high. At a scale of 1/35, each real dimension is reduced by a factor of 35—an appreciated scale for detailing armored vehicles, painting, and integrating the model into a diorama.

Assembly requires careful preparation of the parts before gluing. Applying a primer then makes painting easier, while finishing with washes, dry brushing, pigments, or dusting helps bring out the vehicle’s volumes and its operational environment.
