True Orok, but what's a diehard armor fan going to do? It'll probably never be kitted in plastic. But the price made me really research the vehicle.

Best Regards, David

Hi David,

Since your are now somewhat of a Zrinyi expert in this forum, can you tell us what do you think of it as compared with various German assault guns/tank destroyers? I know the Zrinyis came too later in the war and only a negligeable small number was actually produced, and thus there is little in their fighting record.

Thanks and Best Regards!

Swedish Landsverk sold one L60 (nr 55160) for 139.800 Swedish kr and after that we sold the licens for making 200–300st L60 under the name Toldi M38 to Hungaria
So the M38 toldi is an Swedish Landsverk L60 tank made in Hungaria

Yes that is true. Hungarians got licenses to manufacture Swedish (38M Toldi I könnyû harckocsi & Nimród páncélvadász és légvédelmi gépágyú) and Czech (40M Turán I közepes harckocsi) designed AFVs. The Csaba was a Hungarian design but first made for the British Army.

Although the Hungarians fought for German interests, the Germans were sooooo cheap that they never granted any AFV licese to the Hungarians! :cry:

You can find the Toldi tank-destroyer (or antitank) and some informations for Nimrod what I wrote earlier in here:

Hungary made another shipper 'Lehel' from Nimrod.
I couldn't find where I wrote for it. I will send it again, if you interested it.

Because there was need Nimród on the front, didn't start the serial production. Only the prototype was ready.
On the front for Lehel S, used the Ambulance Toldi (reorganize the archaic Toldis).
