Title: Swedish Cold War build
Post by: bluewillow on 19 June 2024, 08:20:51 PM

Over the next few months planning on completing my Cold War Swedes using 20mm figures from S&S miniatures and various brands of resin and Diecast vehicles. Planning on circa 1981 based army, plus some aircraft.

First up the C303 TBG11  was made by Volvo and was used for a number of roles in the Swedish army. This 1/72 model is from Gecko heavy industries, I have a kit review here  https://kampfgruppewillow.blogspot.com/2023/11/volvo-c303-tbg11-gecko-kit-review.html (https://kampfgruppewillow.blogspot.com/2023/11/volvo-c303-tbg11-gecko-kit-review.html)

I have painted it for the Gotland regiment where my fictional invasion will occur in October this year for our Cold War weekend in late September.
