For those interested, I posted some images of the Pvrbv 551, taken at Arsenalen (Swedish defense forces museum) last weekend, on The Assembly.
Eventhough my main area of interest is WW2 armor, this little vehicle struck a chord with me.

Very interesting vehicle. Kind of looks like a boxier version of the Pbv302 APC. Mecanix was scratch building a Pbv302 for the Winter Warriors campaign.

Great. It's a bit of a beast but I like to see homegrown armor.

This is very interesting. Those skirts have quite the unique contour to them.

Thanks Guys for your comments. Im glad you enjoyed the images. Rather cool vehicle. DidnŽt know much about this myself until I saw it.
Hopefully IŽll be making some more trips there before the year is out, and take more images. Any requests?
