Last friday a very nice delivery arrived directly to my doorstep.
The wife of my friend Fredrik in Stockholm delivered a package
full of 6mm figures and models. The collection is a big one and
I can´t describe it in only one report so it will result in 3.
The collection contained swedish, soviet and Nato-models and
the first will be written about the swedes.
Very nice models and the collection cover almost all except
naval forces.
Lots of S-tanks (strv 103) to be the bulk of the force supported
by centurions (strv 102/104) and also the infantry-support-tank
Ikv 91. The Ikv 91 is fitted with a 90mm low-velocity cannon
and 2 MG.
The centurion (strv 102/104) was a very good tank with a armour-
thickness of 17-152mm and fitted with 105mm L7-cannon and
2 MG. The S-tank is a versatile tank and with its low
profile(sloped 12.5 dgr) and with a armour of 40/20mm it is a hard match
when dug in to knock out.
The S-tank is fitted with 10,5 cm automatic-loaded cannon that could
fire up to 30 projectiles in a minute.
In addition to the cannon the S-tank has a massive mesh (30mm steelbars)
in the front(not on the model) to halt armour-piercing projectiles and
finally two MG.
The artillery is represented by the tracked Akv 151. This artillery is built
on a S-tank chassi and can fire 14 artillery-shells in 45 seconds with a
range of 25 km. Each shell had a weight of 47 kg!!!
A lot of fire to be delivered! :)
Some very nice detailed APC´s, Pbv 302 will also be a nice addition
to my force.
The Pbv 302 is amphibious and can carry 8 infantry men with a
crew of 3.The Pbv 302 is fitted with a 20mm automatic cannon
and one MG.
For recon I have some jeeps with a MG called Terrängbil 11. Two
transport-trucks that will be used as Terrängbil 20 and these two will
be converted and fitted with two extra wheels.
As anti-tank-vehicles I will use jeeps as the Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil 1111
with a recoilless rifle cal 9cm (rocket is 920mm long and a weight of 10kg!).
In addition to the jeeps the collection also contains three HKP 9A (Bo 105CB3)
with Heli-TOW to halt enemy-tanks.
The crown of the vehicles on the ground are the aircrafts: Draken and Viggen.
Saab 35 Draken(1 pilot) is fitted with 2 pieces of 30mm automatic-cannons and
rockets and bombs.
A good plane to bring down enemy bombers but also for dogfights and
close support.
The Draken was very robust and could land and lift from short roadstrips that
was built all over Sweden.
Finally the Saab 37 Viggen is a versatile fighterplan in 4 versions and
very robust fitted with 1 piece of 30mm automatic-cannon and rockets
and bombs.
A very nice collection and this in addition with the previous one that is already
fitted on bases will be fun to start playing games with. I guess I have some
hours ahead designated for painting and basing. :)
Old collection (prior to october 2019)
Wow! What an amazing collection.
SvaraRaderaIndeed, and I am proud of it. I will probably go for the M90-camo (green, black and brown).Thankyou very much Michael
RaderaMost impressive army!
SvaraRaderaI can´t wait to get it painted and ready for a game.I have also taken some photographs on my Nato-force and my vast collection of Soviets(soon to be published). Merci beaucoup Phil.
RaderaWow !
SvaraRaderaThat's quite a collection - a full army in one go too! They're going to look great when painted and based up and I don't envy you having to do this !
Looking forward to the rest of this collection !
The collection is very big but that is also the charm with playing 6mm-wargames, you can simulate big battles and also use many sorts of armament.I will keep you updated, because this will not be finished in a "jiffy".Thankyou very much Joe
