Hello.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Sergey. I am from Ukrain, Kiev.
Tthis is my first time to show what I did with CV9040C on this site for scale modelers.
CV9040C - very interesting kind of armor , maybe is the sample of the modern
IFV.
I built it direct from the box, but added some weels, bags, net, canvas cover, belts and so on.
Now I want to order barbed wire from Eduard to set it on the frontal armor.

I want to see your advices and comments.

And sorry for my English.

Thanks.
Look on the right side of IFV. It is not a tracks, as I thought, it is a medical stretcher. Now I am trying to make it.

Hello Sergey,

good work, love to see ot in UN white with some decent weathering. The only thing you might add is the turret mounted
KSP 58 machine gun. KSP 58 is the Swedish version of the FN MAG. I build the CV 9040 C myself and its a great kit.

Carry on this way

Hello!
I wanted to make IFV fo UN in Liberia, but there is a frame ski carrier on the back of this armor. On the CV in this region this aquipment is absent.
The really good variant is Afganistan, but for it I have to make a Barracuda net and remove ski carrier by trapezoidal box.
So I have not too much variant.
It is Scandinavian Theater of war. Angular Snow or winter camo.
But I am not sure, that in this region CV9040c carry on barbed wire and medical stretcher on its body.
What do you think?!?!


Hans-Hermann,
Thanks for the name of the MG. it was an enigma for me ))) but make it very hard I think )))))

Hi Sergey,
Greeting from Trinidad. I am looking at your build with interest as i have this kit. The build looks great but I don't like the stretcher, I think it is too large. If it is in scale, it detracts from the model. That's just my two cents.

Hi!))
Yes. You are right. It seems to me too. This stretcher disappointed me.
I will make another one.

Hi,I love the work on the stretcher,can you please say me do yo do that?!
Also...how is the kit?!
are there fittings problems?!gaps?!
I know about the major flows of the kit so please share your opinion about the kit.
I'm waiting mine this week,the box at the rear can be get in the Djiti production update set for cv9040b,or you can scratch it.
The barracuda has a solution in an eduard pe set and echelon decals(great but a bit tricky to work with)

Cheers

Ciro

ah....great work!!! ;-)

Sergey;

VERY cool! I've been curious as to how these kits come out and what they look like once built... very interesting. The more so as I seem unable to get out of WWII armor! But a guy can dream, right?

A couple of comments: Adding those spare wheels is pretty nice - but you should probably make sure that 1) you make all those straps very straight and tight... thos wheels are heavy objects and straps which hold them on need to be tight - your's look a bit loose. And 2) - you have a very clear picture of what the spare-wheel attachment looks like on the turret - only a 3-way tie-down. Maybe this should be fixed up for best appearance?

I think you probably hit the near-right size with your reduced - size stretcher - I would suppose that this item would be around 2m long by proportionately narrow (maybe 0.7 or so m wide?) - so scaling it should be pretty easy. A 2.0m long stretcher should be about 57mm long? I don't know what the actual sizes are for your item - looks "OK" relative to the vehicle, but not knowing vehicle and stretcher size makes that all a guess. It would, IMO, look quite cool with the stretcher hung on the side like that.

I would suggest also making it thinner- the cut-outs show what appears to be pretty thick plastic. If you can sand it down a little it will look thinner and maybe more proportional to the real thing?

Just my opines and some suggestions. Your build looks pretty nice from here!

It's going to be paint-time soon! I'll be waiting to see what happens then!

In Liberia the CV90 did not have the ski rack attached.
From the start they had a big white storage bag made of fabric mounted in the same place.
From then on the C-version newer have the ski rack.
Later on it was replaced with the metal box shown on the photo above taken in Afghanistan.

The storage box is available from Djiti Production.

First off I must say that I really enjoy your build, I’m also building one for the moment. As far as the camo go I have never seen the Charlie version in any other colors than the all over green, white and the barracuda used in Afghanistan.

Also I don’t know if you have added any belly armour. It was added to the Charlie version during the upgrades and hobby boss has left it out. You can see picture of how to fix it here:

I also build one for the Operation Afghanistan Campaign here in Armorama. Please scroll down in the page for the photos. I will add barracuda camouflage after the paint.

If the final result will be satisfying, I will publish a build feature.
