Historical background of the vehicle: Stryker – a family of American-made eight-wheeled armored personnel carriers – was introduced into service at the beginning of the 21st century. Created as a response to the soldiers’ need for a light, mobile armored transport capable of rapid relocation and operations in harsh conditions. The Stryker was used by American forces in the Middle East, where it gained appreciation for its good protection and mobility, although it often required additional armor, which is represented by the described upgrade set.

The Eduard 36015 set is a perfect solution for modelers who want to take the realism of their Stryker replica to a master level, enhancing it with details not available in the base Trumpeter kit. It is recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers (assembly difficulty 4/5), due to the precision required and skill in working with delicate photo-etched parts. It is an essential addition for any enthusiast of modern military vehicles who values attention to detail and authenticity.
