thanks for feed back going to build this one just as soon as I finish my ft-17....thx larry

Hi Larry,
The HKCW Strv 122 is one of the nicest resin conversions I have worked with. It is very nicely cast and the pieces have excellent detail. Assembly is straight forward,the only thing I would say to look out for is when you are assembling the pieces for the additional frontal armor. Make sure you dry fit everything so there are no gaps. The worst part of the whole project was having to scratch the cages for the headlights.

I was part of the team that made this kit.
On my website I have nice reference images of the strv 122.
If you look at these images you can see that there is supposed to be some gap between the add-on armour plates.





/Thord

Thord is correct, I guess I should have clarified what I was talking about. What I mean is to watch for gaps between the 2 pieces that make up the armor for the "nose". (where the upper and lower hulls meet) I hope that makes since. Oh by the way Thord your site along with the Plastic Warfare site was invaluable to me during construction of my Strv 122.

Interesting comments regading the fit. I've sold 30 of these kits and have had a complaint only once, about some damaged parts, which Alan at HKCW replaced right away for me. However, he has heard some complaints from other quarters. i haven't seen them. It would be appreciated if some of you who have built the kit do a fair review. We might be able to draw out the negative aspects and perhaps correct them. I have kept one for myself to build sometime ion the future. I won't do review as I might be accused of nepotism.
