Hi,

Do you know a source for a painting guide of Swedish 4 colour camouflage for Strv 102? I've just finished building Hobby Fan conversion.

Thanks in advance,

Michal

I've had pictures, but can't find them now. The IPMS Stockholm site has also had some references (if I am remembering correctly) but they are moving to a new website so I can't find anything...

But here is what's available on Prime Portal Strv 102

The IPMS Stockholm's forum is only in Swedish right now, but I'll see what I can do. They might chime in here anyway...

Brian,
I followed PrimePortal photos during building my Strv102. They are great but they are incomplete to prepare painting scheme of this tank I'll be grateful if you are able to help me

All I can find is the info for the Strv 122, I must have been mistaken...

I have put up a question on the swedish IPMS Stockholms forum but no help as of yet.

I know there is a Strv 102 on display at Arsenalen, but I won't make it there until May... I'll keep on looking...

Brian,

I found an article in AFV Magazine. I will try to combine these photos with another- published in PrimePortal.
BTW: what colours do you use to reproduce Mid Green 322M? According to FS Standars it's FS24092/ FS34128. But I found that modellers use Gunze H312 (FS34227)- even Tamiya XF4. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Michal
