The Strv 103 was designed and manufactured in Sweden. It is the only main battle tank and the only tank of any kind since the World War II era to dispense with a turret.

The Stridsvagn 103 (Strv 103), also known as the S-Tank, was a Swedish post-war main battle tank. ![]() ![]() Request to be notified when this item is in stockĮaglemoss 1:72 Modern Combat Vehicles CV0010 Stridsvagn 103 1:72 Diecast Model - Eaglemoss EG-CV0010 - $11.95Ĭlick "Add to Cart" to back-order this item now or
