The model is the old Accurate armour resin model. Again, resin is quite a challenge to work with. The model was full of bubbles and imperfections. And the tracks were quite a challenge to shape.

I don't really like modern armour much, but I love the looks of the S-Tank and think you've done a great job on it.

Let's see... this is the C model and I have built Trumpeters B model. And this is an AA kit? Wow... that was some work I bet.

But you pulled it off in a fantastic finish! I like it!

Great work! Love the S Tank. I wish we could get a new properly scaled plastic one in 1/35.

Excellent work! The camo is very good. Great job, on the weathering! The tracks turned out quite well. Give yourself a pat on the back, for this one.

Thank you guys! And the figure did not come with the model. It is actually a US tanker from a Tamiya kit with modified arms. I used it since the earlier swedish helmet is very similar to the older US. And just applied the modern swedish uniform camo pattern. To be very honest I am not too proud of the figure since I did it in a hurry to finish the project. But I guess it turned out ok.
