This Strf 90 (CV 90) is scratch built using mainly plasticard. The running gear is taken from a Revell M2A2 Bradley. References used for this project was my own and Thord Wedmans extensive library of photographs, Users manual for Strf 9040A and B and the SPHF drawing of the Strf 90…
It’s now close to 7 years since I went through the military service on an ARV attached to the Mechanized Brigade ”Mek B18”(today P18 on Gotland) Ever since, my ambition have been to build a replica of the vehicle on which I served. Our crew baptized this ARV (810) ”Tracy Lord”, a name very familiar to a bunch of 19-year olds
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.
