Eduard 36129 M-1131 slat armour 1/35 Trumpeter

Eduard 36129 M-1131 Slat Armour 1/35 Trumpeter is a high-quality set of photo-etched detail parts intended for M-1131 scale models in 1:35 scale produced by Trumpeter. The set contains three precisely crafted photo-etched sheets, which can be easily used to build a realistic – though highly complex – “slat armour” lattice armor system used on modern military vehicles, mostly those of the United States Armed Forces.

Historical Description and Application

Slat armour is an advanced lattice armor system designed to protect vehicles against shaped charge projectiles, such as RPG rounds. This type of armor was widely implemented on U.S. Army military vehicles, especially in combat theatres in Iraq and Afghanistan during the post-2001 conflicts – in the modern era. The M-1131 Stryker Reconnaissance Vehicle, for which this set was designed, played a key role in reconnaissance patrols and infantry support during numerous international operations.
