Nicke but I really wish they were producing this and the other members of the Landsverk L60 family in 1/35. The Hobby Boss efforts of the Tilde Linné ledtrådar some things to desire from a Swedish point of view.

Or from anyone else's point of view that likes interesting armour from that time period! We really need this in 1/35 much more than we need fictitious paper panzers.

IBG have followed several of their 1/72 releases with 1/35 offerings. I would bet this kit offers lots of detail and post likely link and length tracks, with indy links around the drive sprocket and idler.

Hope so...is it just me, or does this tank look like something initially produced by Skoda? Or something Hungarian in origins? Gotta look it up.

Russ, the earlier IBG Stridsvagn releases had link-and-length tracks, so I'd say it should be a given for this one as well. Yeah, it sure would be cool to have these tanks in 1/35 plastic. Cheers, Tat

No it's an original Swedish design, Landsverk L60. The Hungarians bought and built them under license with the name Toldi. Even Ireland bought some and the Dominican Republic where it actually saw combat in the 60:is.
