About product

Strv.104, the Swedish upgrade of the Centurion 1:35 (Amusing Hobby)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Swedish Strv.104 tank in 1:35 scale from Amusing Hobby. The model captures the late form of the Centurion in Swedish service with add-on explosive reactive armor (ERA) on the front and an upgraded powerpack. Photo-etched sheet, suspension springs and individual track links are usually included; check the exact contents against the particular package.

The real subject

The Strv.104 was the last version of the British Centurion tank used by the Swedish Army. In the 1980s the Swedish Army had older vehicles rebuilt: they were given a new engine and transmission (derived from the American M60) and explosive reactive armor was added to the front. The armament was the proven British 105 mm L7 gun. The upgrade kept a robust Cold War tank combat-capable into a later era.

Building and painting tips

First assemble the running gear, any interior and the suspension springs, and only then close up the hull, because the tracks and the wheels are hard to reach afterwards. Glue the plastic with thin modeling cement and the photo-etch with cyanoacrylate. Even out the base with a primer and spray the Swedish camouflage with an airbrush. Weathering comes from washes into the details and dust pigments on the running gear and the ERA blocks.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Cold War equipment
  • Fans of the Centurion and its later versions
  • Anyone interested in less usual Swedish equipment
  • More advanced modelers with experience of photo-etch

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

The proven British 105 mm L7 tank gun, which was standard on a whole range of Western Cold War tanks.
