drndthank you, glad you like like it!
Markus noticed 🙂 As mentioned in description, it got many faults especially in the suspension department. While battling with the shrinked/too short rubber tracks that came with the kit, trying to brute force them onto the wheels, i managed to completely break off 2 of the suspension arms holding the wheels.
A (not so) quick fix with metal insertion helped to secure them firmly back in place, but i never managed to get them to hold their original stance again. At that time i couldnt be bothered with a proper fix, as the model was already painted and weathered and i just wanted it finished already, so i just left it as it is.
Still like it, loved the build

Patrick HagelsteinTrumpeter has a set of individual link tracks especially designed for this kit (they LOOK like Leopard 2 tracks but are slightly different) which might solve the issue of being a tad short.

AlexanderLooks like it took part in quite a few NATO maneuvers for months in the swedish forests - awesome weathering and paintwork! 👍👍

NeulingDoes Sweden allow NATO troops training on their soil? Otherwise I fully agree with Alexander. Top work!

TreehuggerSweden never was very neutral. In very recent local news Sweden is having military coop exercise with USA in Sweden. And btw, Denmark already allows USA access to their fiber network for comms inside Denmark as per USA's XKEYSCORE program, also according to 2020 news this autumn. Norway probably has some scummy things going on as well. Then there was CryptoAG in Switzerland, who changed their name, after it was apparently so that Switzerland sold backdoored crypto equipment to foreign countries, on behalf of USA. The king of norway had a heart attack or something a couple a days after I wrote about this stuff on a tech blog not too long ago, probably unrelated.
