Air Defence Stryker
« on: March 09, 2017, 09:06:27 PM »
This is my current plans for a What-if group build on the IPMS Ireland forum and is more a "when-if" than a what-if :)

Currently there are 10 variants of the US Army Strykers:

M1129A & B are basically same vehicle with different armament. Similarily there are different sub-variants of the 1130 & 1132

However the US Army are currently trialing a new version with a 30mm canon in a turret. This is a direct result of recent Russian moves in Crimea and Ukraine.

https://www.armytimes.com/articles/army-receives-first-stryker-upgraded-with-30mm-cannon

And now we get into the realms of speculation. In my opinion one of the glaring omissions of the Stryker line-up was an Air Defence version. So my entry will be an ADA Stryker which I believe we will eventually see in the real world also.
It will be based on the M1128 Mobile Gun System platform, as it already has a "turret", and the Legend Productions ADATS system for the M1113



Just need to order the base kit and Legend set on pay-day

If anyone wants to join the GB just google IPMS Ireland Forum, register and participate. It's open to all....

I will be following your progress on this one.  It really sounds like an interesting sub-type for the Stryker.

There are plans to do an LAV-25 air defense WhIf in the archives at LemonJello Heavy Industries, the kit is already in hand, along with some 3D printed bits I did up myself before changing jobs.

Not trying to rain on your parade but there was/is the LAV-AD fitted with a turret mounting a GAU-12 Equalizer 25 mm 5-barreled Gatling cannon, and two missile pods each with 4× FIM-92 Stinger missiles:



To me, a variation on this would have been the natural Stryker-Air Defence variant.

That said, I love the ADATS system so go for it. :)

That's a good question. It's a lovely turret with metal barrel. Maybe get another Boxer and mount on that?

As for this build: I'm waiting for the ADATS so I can see what surgery is needed on the upper hull. Might be easier do before I put the hull together

Still waiting on the ADATS...should arrive any day now. But started on the lower hull and rear. Won't touch the upper hull until I see exactly what surgery in needed

 

But came across this story today which shows my theory of an Air Defence Stryker is not far fetched at all

It's a lot of resin



Beautifully cast though



Plus a large fret of PE, some wire and decals for a Canadian vehicle. 2 double sided A4 pages of colour instructions.
A lot of the bits are for the body on an M113 so won't be used

Thanks Gents, glad you're enjoying it 😀

Well it has been a productive weekend and the ADATS turret is now together. Some pretty large pour blocks to be removed but no real issues except the sheer volume of resin bits. Doing Tamiya tape straps with PE buckles was the hardest bit



So here is how she looks now. I'll keep the two missile units off till after painting. One is held on here with blue-tac





And how it will look on the hull. A bit bulky but doesn't seem too out of proportion or unrealistic to my biased eye



Tonight I start detailing the upper hull

Finally finished the Stryker ADV. Apologies for not keeping the build log up to date but with the PB woes and finding Flikr troublesome I've been posting more in the FB group than the forum recently. I shall rectify that going forward. Anyway, here we are, all done at last.

AFV Club M1128 hull with Ledgends A DATE conversion mounted on it. Painted with Mr Hobby Olive Drab and weathered with various washes, filters and pigments from AK, Mig and Tamiya
