Title: A.W.E. Striker - what it should have been from the start
Post by: martin-montreal on April 02, 2011, 09:28:03 AM
Remember the newest A.W.E. Strikers we got with inverted black/tan colour?


Yes these:

I may interchange their wheels again so the mud on the black one will be explained by the wheels.

right, now, take the star stickers and the 'UNITED STATES' sticker off, go to BFTB and buy some of the repro SAS and Z Force stickers and peel and apply...

A tan AWE striker was part of the vintage Z Force?

no, but it'd look great as a Z Force desert jeep and the black one would look good as an SAS Force light strike vehicle.

(the AWE Striker was only sold in a light shade of green, in 1987)

Better yet... Paint it Red and make it a Crimson Striker!

Good idea, but I see this for a stinger... a Crimson Stinger like this (with a darker red):

Yeah, although my preference will always be for an all-black Stinger, I like your swap - they're AWEsome....[sub:1lbys3sh]couldn't resist.[/sub:1lbys3sh]  ;D
