Simple: Convert a Toldi.

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

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.

I can hope thta there is a Stridsvagn m/42 in someone's pipeline out there!

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?

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"
