Trumpeter 07298 Swedish Strv 103C MBT (1/72)

Trumpeter 07298 Swedish Strv 103C MBT (1/72) is a high-quality plastic model kit of a main battle tank in 1:72 scale, designed for all military modeling enthusiasts and collectors of Swedish military engineering history. This assembly model enables you to recreate one of the most innovative and unconventional tanks of the 20th century – the Swedish Strv 103C, also known as the "S-Tank."

The Stridsvagn 103C is the last and most advanced version of this unique tank. It stood out with its innovative turretless design, low-profile silhouette, and the implementation of advanced technological solutions typical for the Cold War era. It served in the Swedish army from the mid-1960s until the 1990s, being the primary tool for homeland defense against potential threats from the East. The distinctive gun-aiming mechanism, involving tilting the entire hull, was unique worldwide and ensured an exceptionally low battlefield profile. The Strv 103C was used mainly by Sweden, which never sold this model to any other country. It took part in numerous defensive exercises during the Cold War, but was never used in combat.

The Trumpeter model is made of high-quality plastic, guaranteeing precise fitting of parts and rich surface detailing – the characteristic hull lines, hydropneumatic suspension, realistic external details, and numerous accessories are all faithfully reproduced. The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing every modeler to choose their own finishing products. Inside the box, you will find a clear assembly instruction manual as well as decals for recreating authentic Swedish army markings.
