When Sweden produced its own variant,from 1929, they copied the LKII design but incorporated their own Scania-Vabis engine..with this engine the tank was designated STRV M/1921-29. The German LKII was itself a direct copy of the British "Whippet" tank. Im more or less 100% that the maker of the 21/29 variant was Scania-vabis -- Last edit: 2008-10-07 12:56:32
