Stridsvagn 121(A) - Update for Centurion
« on: Yesterday at 02:17:19 PM »
Bit weird I am first physical build.. but here goes.

Asked the question to the mods if I could use an OOB kit, that had pretty much been finished, the Amusing Hobbies Stridsvagn Strv 104.
I contended that I would have got to this exact same position before doing any mods, so that got the okey dokey


So really this is an Upgrade to an upgrade and certainly a life extension. And and Update to the existing kit as well. ;)

The Strv 104 had already added some reactive armour, plus the Israeli style M-60 Power Pack engine deck, so I need to take this to the next level.
How about upgun to a 120mm Gun ? I have a few in the spares drawer, left over from other builds, the Rheinmetall 120mm in either L/44 or L/55 version. Maybe even a Russion ex -T-72 125mm.
To keep a bit of commonality, I think the German 120mm would suit best and leaning toward the shorter version.



Tried on a RWS as well, not convinced yet, but who knows. This is the AFV Club M151 version, very good chance this will change as it looks a bit clunky to me for this build

I have to many options for this GB and I can't decide which one to pick ;D One of the options was a Centurion tho, as you're making one I can take that off the list.

I'm liking the 120mm barrel, the RWS does look a bit clunky sitting on top of the view port, what about putting it on the back of the turret instead?
