I'm looking for 1/35 scale drawings of the Strv 103 B/C.

I know that the Swedish Armour Historical Association has them but it's a bit tough to get SEK to them.

What I'm after is figuring out why a build on ML a few years spliced in a spacer in the middle of the hull. Might make the track fit properly.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi!
I am not sure if I quite understand what you ment with the spacer, and I was not reading this fine forum that days, but from my own memory the Trumpeter kits are off scale in length of the hull. I think this error was caused by a mistake in interpretation of the dimensions being with or without the rear stowage boxes. So, a spacer in the middle may have corrected the lenght of the kit. Anyway, this kit is quite nice even if it is a little off scale.

Hello Paul!
I can´t help You with this, but i recommend You to post Your questions in IPMS Stockholm´s forum, http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/ I´m qute sure You´ll get all of thre answers there. / J-O

The kit is about 1cm too short. That´s the reason for the spacer.

Thanks all. I found that I had downloaded the pictures from the build in question. Looks like the lost length is around the rear hatch area.

The overall length of the strv 103C is 8990 mm with gun and boxes.
7600 mm w/o gun
7040 mm w/o boxes

Thanks for the measurements.
