We present the plastic model kit Revell 03199 Strv 122A/122B Swedish Leopard 2 in 1:72 scale, designed for military modeling enthusiasts and fans of modern armored vehicles. This kit accurately replicates the Swedish variants of the famous German Leopard 2 tank, which are among the most advanced armored vehicles currently in use worldwide.

History and Use of the Stridsvagn 122

Strv 122A and 122B are designations for the Swedish variants of Leopard 2 produced for the Swedish armed forces. These tanks began to be introduced at the end of the 1990s and are still in service today, forming the backbone of Sweden's armored forces in the modern era. The Swedish army purchased 120 Strv 122A vehicles between 1997 and 2001, which were later subject to further upgrades. The Strv 122B variant features, among other things, enhanced armor and active protection systems, providing the highest level of crew safety in combat conditions.

The Strv 122 has been and continues to be used mainly by the Swedish army, where it is the primary armored force. It is distinguished by its effective combination of mobility, firepower (Rheinmetall L/44 120 mm cannon), and advanced defensive systems. This type of tank has participated in peacekeeping missions, including in Kosovo.
