Hobby Boss send us a preview of their upcoming injection molded 1/35 CV-90/4OC kit.

These sprue shots show the excellent surface detail on the parts, and are an exciting teaser of what is certain to be an interesting release for all modern armour fans.

I wonder if this one (unlike the Academy kit) will be buildable as an export version? No offense intended, I love you Sweden, but I really hate your digital camouflage, and I know there are some export customers for this vehicle whose armies use schemes that are much easier to paint! In any case, though, this looks like a beautiful kit of an important ISAF participant.

We have a loooong history here in Sweden with camo schemes that were designed specifically to annoy modellers! Viggen, army choppers, the "S"-tank, all were painted in troublesome camouflages sometime during their careers !

this is brilliant news!! . I just hope that the aftermarket people produce kits to make other countries versions (like Denmark ,Norway , Finland the Netherlands and Switzerland ) of this cool vehicle . That would make even more people happy and give more options. I wonder if the kit will have an interior as well ?
Cheers ,

You should be able to finish this as a Swedish CV9040C in Liberia:

No, it can not.
The CV9040C is basically a CV9040B with add on armour and different mg as the big differences.

You will have to wait for the release of 9030 or 9035 for export versions.
If you want easier paint schemes you can either do it white as shown above or tan for deployment in Afghanistan,
In the beginning in Afghanistan it did not have the Baracuda camouflage mounted.
