HobbyBoss has released a Swedish CV90-40C IFV /W Additional All-round Armour, this gives you two new options for this vehicle with a C version from HobbyBoss. Take a look inside for more details.

They (the Academy AND the HobbyBoss kits) both look great and would be tough to choose between.

Nice!
I think I'll be making my choice when they get the Finnish CV9030 version out.

Hi Jeff!

You could always buy both, since the two models represent very different versions of the vehicle. Hobbyboss model is of the uparmoured 9040C and the Academy kit is of the "basic" 9040B.

Thanks Olivier!

I must have missed that announcement from Academy (don't recall seeing any sprue shots to make a comparison with HB's model).

Great news indeed if we have several choices of the C version. It's a great to be a builder of Swedish armour these days :-)
