The set can be finished with either US Army or Ukrainian markings, and everything is printed directly onto the blocks rather than applied as stickers.

The Stryker is not. It is named after two private soldiers, and they were not related to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrivate First Class Stuart S. Stryker was killed in March 1945 near Wesel, during the airborne crossing of the Rhine. His company was pinned down by fire from a fortified house; he stood up in front of them, waved them forward and was shot dead leading the charge. The position fell and more than two hundred prisoners were taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialist Four Robert F. Stryker was killed in November 1967 near Loc Ninh in Vietnam, throwing himself onto a command-detonated mine to shield the men around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth received the Medal of Honor. When the Army came to name its new wheeled carrier in 2002, it took the surname the two men happened to share — the only US combat vehicle named for two people at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the COBI range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet 2629 is the Polish KTO Rosomak, the same class of eight-wheeled carrier at the same scale.
