SKPF m/42

This is an swedish APC called Tgb m/42B SKPF. It has its orgins in the 1940´th, and was built on Scania and Volvo chassis. The S in the name tell that this is a Scania, a Volvo would have the suffix VKPF. There is an external difference between the Volvo and the Scania. The winch is placed on the left side on the Scania (which is visible on this photo). Tgb means crosscountry vehicle/terrainvehicle, KP stands for armoured body and the F was the anti aircraft mg´s.
The model depicts an vehicle used by swedish UN-troops in Kongo in the early 1960´th. Later on when the peace keeping mission turned in to an regular war, the vehicles was camouflaged. In Sweden the vehicles was called: KP-bilen (the KP-car) or Likkistan (the coffin, which it really resembles). The model is scratch built on a Esci Opel Blitz chassie.
I still trying to find out how to take better pictures. Here are some more of the KP-car.
