Authentic Details and Functional Features

Specific model features include:
- Steerable front wheels for more realistic positioning
- Opening crew hatches and rear troop ramp
- Detailed opening engine compartment
- Movable remote weapon station with realistic equipment
- Choice of United States or Ukrainian insignia
- Exterior fuel cans, tools, antennas, spare tire, and stowed equipment
- Durable printed markings for lasting detail
- Display plaque featuring the vehicle’s name and scale
Because the set uses a 1:35 scale, it displays naturally alongside other modern military vehicles in the same scale. The included nameplate also provides a polished presentation for a desk, shelf, or military collection.
From Rapid Deployment to Frontline Service
The United States Army introduced the Stryker family in 2002 as part of its effort to create a force that could deploy quickly while retaining armored protection, mobility, and digital battlefield awareness. The M1126 ICV became the primary infantry carrier within Stryker Brigade Combat Teams.
A standard M1126 carries a two-person crew and a nine-soldier infantry squad. Its mission is to move troops under armor, deliver them close to an objective, and provide supporting fire after they dismount. Depending on its configuration, the remote weapon station can mount an M2 .50-caliber machine gun or an Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher.
Stryker brigades saw extensive operational service in Iraq and later deployed to Afghanistan. More recently, the vehicle entered combat with Ukrainian forces following Russia’s full-scale invasion. As a result, the Stryker has become one of the most recognizable wheeled armored vehicles of the 21st century. You can learn more about the history and variants of the M1126 Infantry Carrier Vehicle.
Two Marking Options in One Set
The COBI Stryker M1126 ICV gives builders the option to represent either a United States Army vehicle or a Ukrainian-operated Stryker. Therefore, collectors can select the version that best fits their preferred display or modern military collection.
The markings complement the model’s olive-green color scheme, detailed weapon station, antennas, tools, and external equipment. Furthermore, the opening rear ramp reflects the real vehicle’s primary role: carrying infantry safely into and out of contested areas.
Expand Your Modern Armored Collection
Pair the Stryker with the COBI KTO Rosomak IFV Ukraine set #2629 to create a display featuring two modern eight-wheeled armored vehicles. Both models use 1:35 scale and represent highly mobile vehicles currently associated with Ukrainian defense operations.
Whether you collect modern armor, study military technology, or simply enjoy detailed vehicle builds, set #2635 offers history, functionality, and strong display value in one compact model.
