Mid FranconianAt least it looks Swedish enough I think… 🤔
Now I will brush the details (tools, rubber parts etc.)

Mid FranconianFinished! A nice little kit of an unusual subject. But I have to admit I really like the approach the Swedish engineers took with this tank back in the 60s. The low silhouette should have made this tank very hard to spot in Swedish forests...

MariusWell executed painting scheme of this very special subject!
I was at the beginning hesitating to buy this kit because I thought the some parts are too thick and this makes the model look like a toy. It seems I was wrong, you're model looks nothing like that. You managed to highlight very well with the weathering the small details and you made the best of this model as OOB.

Mid FranconianHi Marius, thank you! In fact this kit was in a way surprising. Many, many, many small parts which had to be glued on the hull and everywhere. Tamyia would have done it with one third of parts. First I though Trumpeter has just scaled down their 1:35 kit without thinking that some parts may be too small for 1:72. A good profile book helped me throughout the build to identify all the parts (Tankograd In Detail Vol. 20).

NeulingLooks like a 1/35 build. - This tank design is giving very good protection against frontal attacks. In present time warfare however we see more and more attacks from above and behind .............

Mid FranconianHi Neuling, that´s true... also the main weapon of the Stridsvagn had no stabilizer. The tank had to come to an halt for shooting. Nowadays unthinkable but that was state of the art during development...
