erik_g Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hi guys, I built this one out of Hobbyboss nice Toldi kit. The aluminium tube "barrel placeholder" was replaced with a resin barrel made by a friend. Since these photos were taken, I have added the tow chain, seen on the pre-paint images, and an Aber .30 cal barrel coaxial to the gun. Please fire away! It will go to a competition tomorrow, so if there is anything really bad about it, I might fix it tonight :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Holeshot Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Very nice work! Did you add some paint scratches from the tow chain rubbing around on the back of the tank? That would look to be about the only possible 'miss' IMHO. What are style tracks came with that kit? Rubber band, link-and-length, or indy links? Nice job on the way they lay.

erik_g Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 The tracks are the weakest point of the kit, they are single links, and they do not fit together very well.. nothing that some brute force could not overcome, but still, it´s not like they are building themselves.. Thanks for the tip regarding the chain, I´ll see what I can do! /E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nice one, Erik! Isn't time for a bit more modern Swedish stuff, will you ever finish your Strv 122? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erik_g Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 You mean the kit I started on more than ten years ago? Well, you got a point there. Maybe I should do that. On the other hand, there are so many lovely Strv 122s built already, so I can't really compete :-) I'll have to finish my Strf 9040C first, so maybe I can have something for 08-Open :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIG Mikkel Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Very fine model erik!! do you know if it's possible to make a Dominican Stridsvagen from the hobbyboss kit? Cheers, Mikkel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erik_g Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 The Dominican tanks were former swedish Stridsvagn m/40K. They are similar to m/38 but different enough that you would have to do some more plasticard surgery to make an exact replica. So yes, the toldi kit is a good base for a Dominican tank, but it is far from an out of the box build. I plan to build an m/40K too in the future, and I'll start from the toldi kit.
