Trumpeter 1/72 US M1135 Stryker NBC RV Armoured Personnel Carrier Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The M1135 Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBC RV) is a highly specialised variant of the US Army's versatile Stryker family of armoured vehicles. Its mission is one of the most critical on the modern battlefield: detecting and identifying NBC hazards. The M1135 provides Stryker Brigade Combat Teams with vital situational awareness, using an integrated suite of advanced sensors and a meteorological system to map out contaminated areas. Replacing the older M93 Fox vehicle, the Stryker NBC RV is a leap forward in capability. One of its most important features is a positive overpressure system for the crew compartment, which creates a sealed, safe environment. This protects the crew from external threats and allows them to conduct their mission for extended periods without the need for bulky individual protective equipment, significantly increasing their operational effectiveness.

This 1/72 scale model kit from Trumpeter offers a detailed and accessible way to build the M1135 Stryker NBC RV. This popular small scale is perfect for wargamers or for collectors wishing to assemble a complete lineup of the various Stryker platforms without requiring a large amount of display space. The kit consists of over 100 parts, providing a good level of detail that accurately captures the unique external sensors and equipment that distinguish the NBC RV from other Stryker variants. It features crisply moulded upper and lower hull sections that fit together well, and a full set of eight detailed tyres. This model is an excellent project for modellers of all skill levels and a great addition to any collection of modern military vehicles.
