Hi everyone, I guess I messed up , when I saw the Nato colored version online I didn't realize they were a slightly different version of the tank ,so I should have painted it withe the black and two greens, but I like the way it looks, so I will leave it that way.

[@vallee1985]

Great Build as always. And the most important thing is: Do you like it or not? Who cares if the colors are off a little bit.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

You are correct, thanks for watching

[@darknut9696]

Andy can you make a destroyed vehicle diorama for one of your upcoming model builds

[@madazza72]

really enjoyed this build mate keep up the great work

[@mholmen1971]

Nice to see a swedish tank! And a great build as always! cheers from Sweden.

[@kayhyde2161]

Nice Model.

[@fredtedstedman]

Nice kit , I did handpaint the 4 colour splinter camo- but it does take a while ................................I love the look of the Swedish camo . Wales UK

[@emilbroman]

Im from Sweden so it´s nice to see some Swedish armour as well!

[@spaceosis8977]

Hoi Andy. Really nice work! I'm from Sweden, and have been in and around CV90, many times. Just some fun fact: The CV 90 has both toilet and kitchen inside! its like a very expensive AT RV!!!

[@magnusevald597]

Did my military service in a cv90. The tracks usually had a aluminium colour, because dry sand will blast all rust away. Very common was that sticks and leaves layed all over the tank, it happened when we drove through forrests and knocked down trees. Also, usually a cv90 had scratches in the paint on the sides when it hit a big tree

[@lucasbello117]

Andy, I love your videos!! i'm a total begginer, i have a Revell Pz III ausf M 1/72, i built it and painted it with a fine brush, and i love it!! and also a tamiya 1/35 Stug IV, which i only built, didn't painted because i'm saving it for when I get a nice spray tool. I don't have a lot of time to invest on this hobby, but i'm sure I'm gonna build a lot of models in the future. Even though I'm not doing it right now, your videos are so entertaining and educative for me. Thanks and cheers from Argentina.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

That's great ,Thank you for watching.

[@jonathanjackson5255]

awesome job!!

[@perkelepower]

Very nice, cheers from sweden :D

[@morokolli8700]

Cheers from Finland cv90/30!!.🇫🇮 not that 40mm bofors. Ilike do model by my self too

[@morokolli8700]

Nice looking CV!.🙂🇫🇮

[@svantenylen4477]

Hi Andy! Awesome channel- makes me want to start building tanks again. Small detail regarding this vehicle through: It's not a tank as such, it's an infantry fighting vehicle, which means that the rear hatches open on the 8 or 7 infantry transported!

[@ArmourEmpire]

I enjoyed building this kit. thought it was handy that the skirts locked in so well, which helped with painting etc. nice work

[@YesdogLive]

Another nice video -- good balance between informative narration and thoughtful edits that reduce repetitive parts of the build.

[@resin_Hd]

Another good looking kit and build.

[@shidder_mutt]

I've always like the offset turret the CV-90 has.

[@robertvoss6145]

the camouflage scheme looks great anyway Andy . a good looking combat vehicle. good job 👍

[@synthostyle]

If you found the CV90B future looking than google CV90C which has a lower tower profile. That version of the IFV is available as a scale model from Hobbyboss. Thanks for the video!

[@steelscooter]

The 40mm Bofors main gun may be small in calibre but it is an awesome weapon system. There are videos on KZbin showing its armour piercing, delayed fuse high explosive and canister rounds in action. :)

[@VonDrinkoften]

A great looking build Andy. I've seen this kit a number of times and have always passed it over but may reconsider after watching this. Cheers!

[@stanleybaker1520]

Very cool model AWESOME 😎

[@modelman424]

Another great review & build from Andy. These days I won't start a kit unless Andy or Terry Ashley from PMMS has done a review of it.

[@oldtown6240]

Excellent as always.

[@rwsthompson]

Great build Andy!

[@gervisprantl1711]

Really good choice of model Andy, really good choice!

[@brettbricker1810]

Quite an interesting subject. Came out great!

[@dsmith8984]

Very nice job Andy, another great video worth watching. Thanks very much mate, I enjoy your vids. Also could you build a ship one day, I'd like to see that as I've a few to build. Great work and thanks again. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.👍👍

[@darknut9696]

i got a tip for rubber band track instead of melting the rubber why not use a sowing kit to sew the ends of the tracks together (depends on confidence (learnt that for my granddad (via my father) who made scale models for the military)

[@olafurmikaelsson4794]

DARKNUT 96 scale models FOR the military what do you mean by that

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

good idea, thanks for watching

[@darknut9696]

official scale replica's as the one seen by the higher up of the forces (mainly for prototypes)

[@olafurmikaelsson4794]

o so test beds and if so than darpa or

[@darknut9696]

yeah that sort of thing, i don't know what he did but he took it to the grave, that being said, nearly everything he did for the M.o.D was top secret (model and prototype wise)

[@MrBMBuilder]

Nice looking tank, you really pumping these out!!!

[@orangelion03]

Nice work Andy! Hobby Boss also offers a very nice kit of an up-armored CV90 variant, but it looks like the Academy might be easier to build. The H-B kit only has the individual link tread, and the road wheels are more complex and fiddly to work with.

[@nathanielmcneal5794]

orangelion03 where is ur store i like to order from u

[@hgbarnes1584]

Who knows Andy...maybe they'll take a cue from you with your camouflage scheme. Looks freaking amazing.

[@zockingsebi9536]

Hi Andy I like that you often build exotic vehicles and it would be awesome if you would build the swedish strv 103c from Trumpeter.

[@TheiMetz]

Awsome Andy!!, only wish you would have given the angular M90 camo pattern a try :) Keep up the good work

[@raseli4066]

Thanks !!! thanks from sweden

[@misticrider4785]

Hay Andy it looks great to me I like it

[@bigsparky65]

fantastic video Andy, looks like a good kit. How about building a plane, helicopter, bulldozer from Meng.

[@5er301]

Would you be willing to assemble a kit and do more advanced weathering techniques? Such as rust, indentations (like from an shell hitting and bouncing off a turret or something like that), and damaged/malformed parts on the vehicle, like a bent mud flap? I've learned a lot from you so far but would love to try some new techniques! Thanks for all the cool builds!

[@63RatRodders]

Extra interesting because I am from Sweden.

[@onedollarminiatures.]

the hatches in the back is not for the engine but for military personel. the enginge is actually placed in the front.

[@MrMikepaniora]

cool andy

[@konradkrys7723]

Now it's time for Cromwell!

[@pinfarmer]

I very much want to see you build the bandai hard graph main battle tank from gundam. Its a beauty.

[@kdhughes4407]

Could u do a video on painting camo from a rattle can, that would be nice to see.

[@thogyt]

This looks great, it's okay if you messed it up, if you like it the way it is then leave it like that

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thanks for watching

[@thogyt]

No problem, thank you for uploading

[@carminemaio429]

Hi Andy LOVE ! watching your videos. Just watched this one at 1.40am Thursday morning can't sleep. I'm getting back in to the modelling world after a loooong break and I have to say I've never built a tank or anything military but I really want to now thank you Andy. Btw I have a question for you on your pro ca glue you have a pipette does it come with the glue or do you buy it separately? Oh & what do you call them ? One more thing I live in the U.K. 🇬🇧

[@rickphillips8539]

hello Andy ....I love watching your videos...I have a couple questions....do you do mail order for paints ... accessories.... kits .. Etc..and what do you do with all the kits you've built...do you sell them in your store or do you have like a warehouse you store them in ... lol....I've built models since I was a kid but only in the last 3-4 years have I been trying to get the details like painting.. diarama building and so on ...and you sir are an inspiration to do better ... thank you

[@jesperonesand5616]

whould have been nice to see the Swedish M90 colour pattern

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I would love to see the Swedish S-tank or the Strv 103

[@jawk007]

i drive the dutch version of this, 7:40, the engine is in the front ;p

[@TheDom277]

Great build, i love the Swedish tanks, especially the Strv.103C from trumpeter, such an unusual MBT for its time, the models really cheap too, after seeing this great model and build, i'll certainly have to get this! Any chance of making the Takom T29 E3 or the T30/34, would love to see you make them!?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I might very soon, thanks for watching

[@TheDom277]

Ah that's awesome, can't wait for it!

[@hiortintexasracing]

Greate video and Im working in the same model - what is the paint for the red/brown on the NATO camo ?

[@johnpenneyston654]

Hi Andy very interesting build could you please tell me the make and model of your air brush many thanks jp

[@petervi1962]

Guys this is not a tank. It's an armored Infantry fighting vehicle (AIFV).

[@johnpenneyston654]

Hi Andy nice job could you please tell me the make and model airbrush you use many thanks jp

[@brendanbrlit4467]

Can you show how you do the buff coat in a video?

[@johnpenneyston654]

Hi Andy good job as always please tell me the make and model airbrush you use jp

[@SIG442]

Correction, the CV 90 will always be and always stay a IFV support vehicle. It is technically not matching the description 'tank' since it is capable of carrying passengers, which qualifies it as a IFV instead. It does not matter what box says or what it translates to English. The 'CV' part means "Combat Vehicle 90" (CV90) or in Swedish "Stridsfordon 90 (Strf 90)". Also it is listed as being a 'IFV' and not as 'tank'. Please do not call it a tank, you punch a hole in that thing with a paperclip! Nice end result, does look great when all done. Perhaps add a little dirt on it to show it was used

[@MalinOfSweden]

You would never be able to hit this. You'd be splatter in the tree line before you even saw it.

[@SIG442]

I was not talking about soldier vs. this IFV. I was talking about Tank vs. this IFV

[@dr.klicheota996]

Its a Combat vehicle, multi purpose

[@wilsondy4888]

Hi Andy, what is the odorless thinner that you use?

[@lesthiele7645]

Hi Andy, As always another great build, I have one question, as I do not know anything about the CV90, Is it just the kit or does the actual vehicle have no return rollers? Look forward to your next build. Cheers, Les

[@hojer95]

Could you build a m113, a Leopard 1 and a Challenger 2 please

[@Hugo-xh8pm]

Locks nice! I recently made a video about building this too!

[@maesterstugiii6861]

Hey Andy, what do you use for a base coat between each of those steps you mentioned?

[@elt39]

Do the S tank too

[@user-uj1ts7lh7k]

Tell me please, which colours were used for camoflauge?

[@seanleggett1713]

Hey Andy, quick question. When you say dull coat, are you referring to buff?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

No dull coat is flat clear spray

[@seanleggett1713]

Ok, cool. What product would you recommend for a dull coat?

[@Ziilike]

Hi.Do you know where to find CV9035NL version model?

[@foabmoab]

Hi Andy. What's the best way to glue parts painted separately together without damaging the paintwork? Thanks :)

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Superglue works good on painted parts

[@foabmoab]

Thanks :)

[@davetilden68]

will you update your web site so we could order products?

[@jonathanconklin6351]

That moment when the audio goes to nothing in the video and you spend a minute trying to figure out what is wrong with your PC...

[@the_mysterious_gamer1657]

I wonder if there's a model of the Swedish S-Tank

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

there was from trumpeter awhile back

[@the_mysterious_gamer1657]

Oh cool, then another company should definitely make some again, it's a cool concept with hydraulic suspension.

[@maximiliamhaderbau7734]

Link to buy?

[@nadiedeinteres1285]

The real photos show rusty tracks probably because Sweden has wet soil in the majority of the year.

[@stephenmatthias3503]

Nice model, did you turn into Kermit the frog at one point?

[@gaganthegamer2709]

Why didn't you paint it in the swedish camo?

[@peterbrown3608]

Therory of Food - I was kind of thinking that myself, I like the look of the camo pattern on the box art, something a little different.

[@gaganthegamer2709]

Yeah

[@tonyaughney8945]

That is not the Swedish camouflage scheme.

[@rbsanche]

Are you going to get the VK 7201 (k) for your German super heavy lineup? I just ordered one from eBay and would be awesome to follow your directions.

[@mikep3180]

is there a model of the Swedish TD the StRv 103 B ?

[@DarthFolo]

You mean the main battle tank Strv 103? ;) Yes there is! Trumpeter makes both the B and the C variant in 1/35 and there are a few brass kits to be found as well.

[@mikep3180]

:0 yesss

[@willl655]

Some countries that use this vehicles do have a Nato colour scheme with this vehicle. For example Sweden used a few of these with Nato camouflage in the early years.

[@jonasandersson804]

Will L youre dead wrong on that.

[@willl655]

Ok then...

[@LundiN42]

Actually they where first green then m90 and desert and UN nothing else

[@ItWillAllBeOver]

now convert it to rc

[@gaybarbosa269]

I'm early let me make a joke Someone saying FIRST

[@TheJoke48]

This dude never answers your questions,what's up with that?
