RE: strv-103C "S-tank" scratch build
I am currently waiting for some suspension arms that I just bought from a tanker here in Sweden. When they arrive I will integrate them in my CAD-design and hopefully be able to make some parts for real. It was a long time since i actually made a some parts for this project so I would really want to make something soon not just making blueprints.

You may be correct, but everything I've read suggests that they are fuel containers. Shoudn't be too bad with high flashpoint fuels (I think S-tank uses combination of diesel and gas turbine, so fuel is probably kerosene/diesel type)).

I think the 'jerry cans' are active armor ? It would be fun to have a nice variety of nato/warsaw pact 1/16 armor to do modern IR battles.

The power pack in the S-103A and S-103B versions was a Rolls-Royce K60 disel which was used for normal operations, and a Boing gas-turbine which was brought into provide additional power for combat or even crossing difficult terrain. In the Strv-103C, however the Rolls-Royce engine was replaced by a more powerfull Detroit Disel 6V-53T 6-cylinder, although the gas-turbine has been retained uncharged.

Been a long time since i posted here, but I have much to do and so little time for my tanks. Anyway do anyone know the diameter and other data of a leopard 2 drive sprocket in 1:16 scale? I will probably use one on the S-tank since it will not be so vissible anyway.

You can always use a voltage regulator to get the voltage down so you can use the DMD.
Guess it uses 7.2V, could use either a 6V regulator or 9V and a resistor.

if you flip it over you will see on the bottom side six holes with screws in them unscrew the screws and the top will come off .
