Title: Stryker M1128 MGS - Canadian Forces
Post by: Buzzbomb on August 16, 2026, 03:30:59 PM
From what I can see the Canadians did a Yeah, Nah, on the Stryker M1128 Mobile Gun System.

As I was scratching around for a what to do, what to do, to support this GB, the AFV Club Stryker MGS was in the stash.. so why not  :D
So what if they did go ahead ? Oh, no idea what the brown sludge is, was on the kit when I got it as a hand me down from a mate.

Nothing much to report really, just a session doing a few steps, out of the box so far. Really, AFV Club don't really leave much to do, this is a pretty nice kit.

Trying to think of something that might make it more... Canadian, other than colour scheme. Australian modifications always seem to include some sort of Esky/Cooler. Best I have so far is perhaps Snow chains for a Winter setting and some tinkerings with the Autoloader, which appears to be the biggest flaw of the vehicle. Maybe the Canadians did a "get out of the way... this is how you do it!"
If anybody has an idea.. throw them in the mix. Who knows, might use them.
