Swedish Strv 103C: A Unique Turretless Design in 1/72 Scale

The Swedish Strv 103C Main Battle Tank (MBT) is a fascinating subject for model builders, known for its distinctive turretless design. This model represents the Strv 103C variant, which was upgraded in the late 1980s with improved fire control systems and a more powerful Detroit Diesel engine. The tank's history in the Swedish armored forces during the 1970s through the 1990s adds a layer of historical significance to this kit. In 1997, the Strv 103C was phased out in favor of the Leopard 2, making it a notable piece of military history.
