This is the Hobby Boss 1/35 kit of the Hägglunds (now BAE) CV90 version used by Norway. Norway was the first export customer of the CV90 IFV. It is, as its name suggests, equipped with a 30mm Bushmaster chaingun.
The model is built more or less out of the box. I did however mask and paint the markings to portray a vehicle used in Afghanistan. The tow cables are also added, since the kit did not have any.
A box arrived in my mail..
I will do an inbox review on the Voyager and MK1 Design photoetch for the CV90 shortly.
Hello all..
In case you are interested, here is a small update on my Swedish M3 Scout Car used in the Congo at the link below. My apologies for it being in Swedish. Once the model is complete, I will post an article here on PW in English 
The vehicle will be pulling a trailer which is currently in the “weathering workshop”.
Cheers,
Sven
My package from Lucky Models have now been out there, alone in the world, for a whole month. I hate this waiting..
..always waits for too long.
Some lucky people have already begun receiving their HobbyFan Pbv 302’s. This unlucky b***rd is still waiting for the box to finish it´s journey from Hong Kong to Sweden.
Whenever it arrives, however, you can be sure that it will be reveiwed on this site.
It has been rumored for some time that the CV9040C, the up armoured version of the Strf 9040 that has seen international service in Liberia and currently in Afghanistan was on the way in 1/35.
Apparently Hobby Boss is showing off some cad-renderings at the Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse, as Kjell Svensson is tipsing us about here.
Just wanted to give the heads up on the latest project from the PW author, Sven Young. A tank trailer for his splendid M3 scout car in swedish kongo-service. I hope we’ll see both of them here soon. See the progress on the IPMS Stockholm website.
Here we can post short newsflashes that we don´t want to display large on the main part of the front page. It can be used to link to interesting finds on the web, small news or comments.
We hope you´ll find them worth looking at.
Jens Lindell of Hobby-Importen is selling a 1/72 resin kit of the Volvo Pltgb 903 also called “Valpen” (The Puppy). See a picture of the kit here.
