Very very nice, just a small detail. In the swedish version the jimpy (GPMG) is green, sans the barrel obviously.

Hi! Thanks a lot for the advice - it's a detail that can be corrected easily!

I'm building now the Hobbyboss STRV.!22. It's the same with it's KSP m/94?

Looks cool, Edson.
I gave up the same kit few years ago because of its camo scheme.

Regards,

Another problem is it looks like a sinkhole in the middle of the right headlight.

Someday I will tackle that camouflage and add an Strv103 to my collection. Good job!

Hi Mr. K,
no reason to give up on this build. You can also do the vehicle in swedish dark green (mörkgrön). Not al of the tanks were painted splinter camouflage. This was mainly used on the active training units.

Hi;

You did an "Outstanding Job" with your painting !
The "S"Tank has always been one of my Favorites, and I have Two in my collection and plan on adding another one.
The way this vehicle looked drew my interest rite from the start; Different and that is what I liked the most !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Jan, you are very helpful!

Gary, I only notice that when saw the pictures, thnaks for pointing.

Mr.K, don't give up, is not complicated as it seems. But have at hands a lot of masking tape.

And thanks for the commentaries and compliments to all!

(and excuse the bad english...)

Actually I found the splinter camo fairly easy to do although the feeling was quite daunting at first. Just start with a base coat (I used black) and start piling on the tape as you spray layer by layer.

It's fair to say this is my favourite tank. I have half a dozen B and C models in my stash, along with photoetch, barrels, masks, and track sets. You've done a terrific job on your S Edson, and can be rightfully proud.
