These look like nice figures but do we have a Swedish tank to put them with?

Who is building the stridsvagn serie from Sweden? Or is somebody keeping a secret? Mr. Bodi? Knowing more? A Nordic suprise for Christmas somewhere in the pipeline?

We had a varient of the Panzar 38... called Strv m40. No idea where these are coming from, maybe some surprises coming in the future

Simple: Convert a Toldi.
AGREE! The Swedish AB Landsverk Company built an entire STRV-series of Tanks (STRV m/21, m/21-29, L-5, L-60, (L.60, L.60B, L.60C, and L.60D), L100, L-101, m/37, m/38, m/39,m/40 L (Strv33), m/40 K, the STRV m/41 (STRV 35 & Strv m/37, which were the license-built versions of Czech TNH-Sv, better known as the Pz.Kpfw.38(t), originally ordered from CKD- The Germans seized these, and Sweden was forced to acquire a license to build them. These Swedish versions were built by Scania Vabis), and also, the interesting Wheel-and-Track Tanks, (the STRV L-10 and L-30), well before World War II. During the war, the STRV m/42 (STRV 71/IKV. 73) was developed & built, and rebuilt & modernized in 1958-'60 as the Strv. 74.
The Hungarian "Toldi"s were essentially their versions of the Swedish L.60B, which the Swedish Army eventually went on to develop as the Strv m/38-m/40-series of Light Tanks.
One can easily convert either of the two HOBBY BOSS Toldi kits- the 82477 38M "Toldi II", and the 82479 43M "Toldi III" (C 40)...
Have FUN!!!

Hobby Boss Toldi comes with the 5 bolt wheels of the original Swedish tank instead of the Hungarian made 3 bolt one.

Wargaming.net is adding a Swedish tank tree to their MOBA World of Tanks; this could be getting figures sculpted and in place ahead of the game tie-in model kits like the ones already available from Italeri.

The conversion from the Hobby boss Toldi is so simple I don't even think it'd be cost effective to design a resin conversion kit. If anything the Toldi kit requires bits to make it a Toldi.
Maybe we'll be seeing conversion kits for the Swedish 38 (t) suspension critters?

Hi, Steve!
STRV m/37 and a bit later, the m/41 (STRV 35), actually... It's a simple conversion- All you really need is your favorite Pz.38(t) kit to model the m/37, and in the case of the m/41, an extra Return Roller and Mounting Bracket for each Track, and a picture or a drawing of where to position them. Some of the Swedish Army m/37s and m/41s carried an extra Main Road Wheel or two mounted on the slanting right and left Engine Deck Panels. Then, it's off to your "paint-station"
