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

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. :-)

Sven, you were right sometimes ago but Academy too announced the release of a C version.

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 :-)
