Hello!
Last week I've finished my Swedish post war Strv 103 tank (yes - it is turretless but is considered as a tank). It reminds me of Jagdpanther and I've really enjoyed building it (Trumpeters 1:35 kit). On www.primeportal.net/the_battlefield.html I've found interesing four-coloured camouflage schames. All Strv103 walkarounds featured 103C version (my is 103B), but I've really liked that camo and put visual look over historical accuracy. I've spent hours masking complex shapes with Tamiya tape and masking fluid. Was it worth it? Here are some photos:

That is so cool! The masking work was definitely worth it. Its such an odd tank, and it looks great.

hi piotr, nice build..i like the paint job and the surface finish..not too flat and not glossy either. you did a pretty job on the camouflage too and weathering..specially the mud on the underside. thanks for sharing. ed

Great job on the camo! I'm doing a 103C and am almost at that stage. Hours masking eh?

Wow! It looks great!!!!

I've always liked the 103B more than the 103C for its cleaner lines, and in this cammo scheme it looks really sleek and futuristic. Very well done.

Perfect painting and weathering!

Looks nice, but.
You switched the boxes on the front sponsons.
The box with the two MG-ports should be on the left side of the front, not the right side.
Also, on a B-version there should only be 4 digits in the registration number.
The first two (20) should be removed.

Now, that is nice!!!

"Was it worth it?" Yes, it definitely was! Brilliant-looking tank. Let us know how you managed to get the masking over all the lumpy bits.

Excellent job. As already pointed out, your masking effort was well worth it.

Thanks for sharing
