Hi guys,

I'm looking for references that CV9040C's used by Swedish Army in Afghanistan, but without barracuda. I am planning to built one using the Hobbyboss kit, for the Operation Afghanistan Campaign and I don't want to mess with barracuda and I don't want to close the details on the vehicle. Any one of you have good reference and/or advice on this matter??

I thought that the only ones who used CV90 in Afghanistan was: Norway (CV9030), Netherlands and Denmark (CV9035).

The CV9040 was/is being used in Afghanistan by Sweden.

Some images are available on Plastic Warfare here:

Unfortunately, the 9040's in the pics all have (partial) barracuda, only the ARV's are completely uncovered.

Cheers,
Sven

I red somewhere that CV9040C's in A'stan not covered with barracuda in the beginning, and I want a reference about them.

If I can't find any reference, I will built like this, interesting:
