Eduard 36132 M-1131 FSV 1/35 Trumpeter – Photo-Etched Parts Set

Eduard 36132 M-1131 FSV is a high-quality set of photo-etched accessories designed for the M-1131 Fire Support Vehicle (FSV) model in 1/35 scale, manufactured by Trumpeter. This product is the result of outstanding precision from the Czech producer Eduard, who has specialized for years in creating advanced detailing for plastic models, allowing for the accurate reproduction of the finest nuances of the original vehicle.

Historical Background of the M-1131 FSV

The M-1131 FSV (Fire Support Vehicle) is one of the variants of the Stryker vehicle used by the United States Army. This modern fire support vehicle has been widely deployed within US Army units since the early 21st century and played a significant role during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, being an integral part of the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams in contemporary armed conflicts.

Product Characteristics

• Dedicated for the Trumpeter 1/35 scale model – maximum compatibility and perfect fit.
• The set includes two photo-etched frets made from ultra-thin, high-quality metal.
• The elements allow the model to be enriched with the finest interior and surface details (e.g., handles, grills, shields, internal cabin details).
• Upgrades compared to the basic version: greater realism, sharper detail, and the replication of authentic material losses and excesses as found on the real M-1131 FSV vehicle.

Category: Model Accessories – Photo-Etched Parts

Eduard 36132 is not a model kit, but a set of dedicated photo-etched metal accessories, requiring the modeller to have precision, skills in working with small metal details, and basic knowledge of 1/35 scale model modification.

Advantages and Recommendation

We recommend this product for intermediate and advanced modellers who wish to enhance the level of realism and detail on their US Army modern military vehicle models. The Eduard photo-etched parts set allows you to achieve a level of detailing unattainable with a standard model, bringing the finished miniature closer to the appearance of the real M-1131 FSV.

Build difficulty level (1-5): 4 – useful for modellers already experienced with photo-etched parts; we recommend using the appropriate tools for cutting, bending, and assembling metal.
