This was my third Stryker, but the first by AFV club. This one was by the best. There was very little to no clean up of the parts. I feel like the plastic is a little brittle compared to some other companies, but as long as you are careful it isn't a big issue. The instructions can be easy to follow, but on a few steps I found myself crossing off part numbers as so many were being added in one step. I would not recommend this variant to a beginner modeler due to the front blade. Each individual blade consisted of about 8 parts each and can be a pain to make sure everything is straight.
