The M1126 Stryker is an eight-wheeled, all-wheel-drive infantry combat vehicle (ICV) weighing between 16 and 19 tons and capable of speeds up to 100KPH, and is the first new ICV to enter US military service since the M2 Bradley back in the '80s. Based on the Canadian LAV III and Mowag Piranha, and named for two Medal of Honor-winning US servicemen in WWII and Vietnam, the modular Stryker can be outfitted to perform a wide variety of missions, such as infantry carrier, reconnaissance, mobile gun system, mortar carrier, command vehicle, battlefield ambulance, and a host of others. The Stryker was first deployed to Iraq in October 2003, where it earned a good reputation with the soldiers operating it.

AFV Club continues to release excellent kits of Stryker variants. This kit includes all the parts necessary to create the ATGM Anti-Tank Guided Missile version of the Stryker. The complicated suspension system is faithfully reproduced, and the rubber tires have the correct tread pattern and sidewall detail. Photo-etched detail parts are included to further increase the level of realism. Vision blocks and headlights are molded in bubble-free clear plastic. Includes decals for four different vehicles.
