Amusing Hobby 1/35- Strv-104 review/unboxing.

After a long wait I finally recieved my pre-ordered kit, and here’s a first view of it.

The kit depicts the Swedish version of the British Centurion tank. Here called Strv-104, which is short for stridsvagn (=tank) 104. It was first bought in 1958 and was then called strv-81. Modifications in steps broght it to strv-104 which in duty to about 2000 when it was scrapped.

With individual links and movable suspension, and as far as I can determine very nice details, this looks to be a very nice kit. Looking forward to building it at some time in the future.
