Historical Background:
The Strv_104 was Swedens significant mid-life upgrade of the British Centurion tank during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Modifications included advanced fire control systems, smoke dischargers, and an improved turret bustle to meet Cold War era threats. In service well into the late 1990s, these tanks formed a key component of Sweden’s armoured forces. This kit perfectly captures that modernized profile, offering modelers both period accuracy and robust build options.
