It's been quite awhile since I've posted on this forum, and I want to share some pix of my Strv-103B.

The model itself was built a year ago, but I only recently added the camo net and snow.

Please be gentle.















The camo net is gauze bandage. The snow is plain white chalk, crushed, mixed with plain tap water.

Looks good, only one major thing as I can see.
You have covered the exhaust for the gas turbine with both camo netting and snow.
The GT exhaust is the square grill located on the left hand side behind the hull MG-bin.
One other thing is the exhaust pipe for the piston engine (right rear)
It should be more tight to the chassies of the tank.
Look at my web site www.the-swede.com for images.

Oy! That I didn't notice! Thanks for the info Thord! I didn't have the benefit of your site for research when I did the kit and the camo/snow. I also didn't notice the exhaust which was covered by the snow. I'll take them all into consideration when I build the C variant. I originally removed the snow on the exhaust's - manifold? Cover of the pipe? - the rectangular thingy from which the pipe comes out because I wasn't sure if that place radiated heat enough to melt the snow. In the end I ended up applying some snow because I messed up with the wash hehehehe

Jeff - Thanks!
