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.
1:6 scale Stryker M1126 ICV (click to view BIGGER) |
The M1126 Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV)is the armored personnel carrier version that provides protected transport for 2 crew and a 9 man infantry squad, and can support dismounted infantry. Weighs 19 tons, communications include text and a map network between vehicles. It can be armed with 0.50 inch M2 Browning machine gun, 40 mm MK19 grenade launcher or 7.62 mm M240 machine gun.
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.
