Tittle says it all, any place where I can get some? Books, online, anything really. Preferably during maneuvers would be perfect.

Thanks,
Chris

Online images are not easy to find.
The best thing is to buy the book from SPHF
http://sphf.se/

If there's something specific you need info about just let e know and I'll se what I can do.
I have good knowledge about the strv 103 and good references in the form of hand books and technical manuals.

Thanks a lot Thord. I'll try to order it but all the links for the online stores they have, they don't have it in stock!!!

I'll try later since I'm not home now.

Thanks again,
Chris

Saw this in museum Full. Might not be the correct version, but the photo could be of interest:

I am not too good at seeing the differences between the A, B, and C versions, but here is a selection of Stridswagen pictures. I hope some of these will be of help to you.

Good luck with your project

You can order it directly from SPHF, just drop them an e-mail.

As for telling the difference between the B- and the C-version there are some tips.
First, the B-version only have a four digit registration number and the C-version have six digit numbers starting with 20.
Second, the B-version have the infra red driving lights in the front as seen on image 7, 8 and 11 in Jespers post, the C-version only has normal head lights.
Third, the B-version have the older type of rear equipment boxes made out of sheet metal.
The new ones are made of plastic.
The older type was kept in storage so you can see a C-version with one or two of the older type.
Fourth, the C-version has the two illumination mortars on the rear top, behind the cupola.
The vehicles in image 1-6 and 10 in Jespers post are C-version.
Image 9 is an A-version (no flotation screen)
The rest is probably B-versions.

There is the Wings and Wheels publication "In Detail #4: Strv 103B/C". However, the photos are all of a C from the Belgian Tank Museum rather than "in action" shots. There are also some small build articles on Trumpter 1/35 B kit, C kit, and 1/72 C kit. I can't say I was impressed with the 1/35 C build though. He used photo-etch sight covers then modeled them closed. He also has the smoke mortar bombs on the loaders hatch, but he left off the smoke mortars.
