Gentlemen, I need some help. I have begun working on Mr Modellbau’s LK II. It is nice but it has some mistakes. While working on them I decided to show the interior. Loads of work to make the walls thinner… My problem is the lack of references. There are some photos available of the interior of the Strv 21 from the Swedish Arsenalen, but I need some other details too. Unfortunately the Arsenalen did not reply my questions and asking them to take some photos.
Is there anyone having photos taken of the engine for example? Or lives in the very nearby to go there to the Arsenalen and take some photos for me?
HI Balázs,
It is vacation time in Sweden which might possibly explain the lack of response.
I have the same kit in my stash so I have been thinking about getting some photos for myself.
There are some photos in Pansar, the magazine published by SPHF (Svenska PansarHistoriska Föreningen, the Swedish armour history society).
I will try to dig up something for you when I am back from vacation.
Cheers
Robin
If you look at the production and technology of that time, why has the Strv m/21 conical rivets? Is it something with the Swedish industrial capabilities in the early 1920s? (As I know the conical rivets are easier to handle, than the hemispherical ones.) I wonder what kind of rivets the German built LK II-s used in that very end of the war.
Also, Robin, is there any chance you can help me with the engine of the Strv m/21 kept in the Arsenal?
Thanks. I know this video, I have made several screenshots. But it’s good only for structural elements. Unfortunately the m/21-29 had Scania engine and it was rebuilt making even most of the structural parts different from the LK-II. Luckily I have tons of photos where I can see the parts and sections needed. What I have basicly no good photo is the engine and the engine bay. I attach the ones I have. These are taken on the m/21 in the Arsenal that still has the original Daimler 1910M engine.
There are some other parts I need some photos as well, like behind the plates at the tracks.
