All the HobbyBoss kits of the CV90 have a mistake in common, they have made the suspension symmetric. Since the real thing has transverse torsion bars the wheel stations need to be offset. Academy got it right so the Academy lower hull can be used as a template.
Academy does not make all the versions that HobbyBoss make so there is no way to avoid the HobbyBoss kit for the LvKv 90C ....
More details here:

This article compares the IFV versions.
HobbyBoss have also forgotten the underbelly armour on the up-armoured versions, easy to fix though.
