Blast from the past...Special Warfare Armored Transport.


The vehicle above is called the Special Warfare Armored Transport.  The image and information on it can be found at War Wheels Website...

Amazing isn't it.

In 1966 the US Army developed a set of requirements that pretty much spelled out the Stryker and Marine Personnel programs.

Except for probably not being IED resistant, I bet you could dust off the specs and maybe win a contest or two even today.

Sidenote:
Cut the modelers some slack.  In most cases they're doing a better job of perserving our armored and avaition history than most of the corporations and the various governments world wide.  Even if you're not a hobbyist I highly recommend you frequent a few of the sites.  You'd be surprised at the wealth of info you can find.
