If you want something completely different, how about the Swedish Stridsvagn 103?

It was in service up to 1997. This is the Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103

Good idea Richard,
I remember there was a model out there once upon a time although I cannot recall any details,
There is a piece on U-TUBE about the full size in service Tank which is well worth a look.
I'm not sure but I think that "Tom Hugill" knows a fair bit about the "S" Tank.
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Love the "S". I think Tamiya used to have a 1/48 version with rubber tracks and motorized. Will have to look it up.

Edit..... Found it.....

Getting the suspension to compress might present a few problems. :haha:

I was looking at doing one of these...it's certainly different!
