CV90 and PUMA possible in the future? Is anyone interested?

Is anyone else interested in having these models made?

The CV 90 could be very lucrative, as it has a wide array of variants ala stryker, and is being adopted by many european countries.

Also, the german Puma will likely be the most advanced AIFV in the world when it becomes standard in the German army...

I think these models would be amazing, Am I the only one interested?

You've got my vote on those 2 but remember......

Hi,

of course I am interested in both.

I especially like the CV90 series, as you already said, lots of possible variants.
Maybe this is the biggest problem with the CV90, as I would have problems to decide which version should be made

...

Kind regards,
Ben

I was thinking that if GHQ made them, they could introduce variants gradually like they did with the stryker...

That said the CV90 120, any CV 90 IFV, etc are the two most important to be made...

I'd love to see (and buy) a lot of CV90s. I'm hopeful for Puma, but could see it being a Germany-only vehicle, though I'll stil buy them.

The CV90 was my choice for the "The thinking man's wishlist" thread.

I wote for the PUMA AIFV.

The CV 90 is nice, too.
But there is a big problem (look on Bens contribution).

The CV-90 is in Europe widespread, but every country has its own version.
That means there are about 5 versions of a AIFV.
This versions are so different that you cannot use the swedish vehicle as a dutch and so on.

I am interested, and would buy them.
CV90, would need both types of turrets or different packs for the different models. CV 9030 & CV 9040 and the CV90 AA

Would also buy up the Puma/ ASCOD. I am ready to order now. Does any one have another carrying case that I can buy???? I am out of space.

I would definitely be interested in seeing these produced.

I would definitely be interested in a Dutch version of the CV 90. If it's only the turrets who are different for different countries, well, GHQ has released packs with several turret versions before.

But if the CV 90 were to be done, than we would also need the Boxer APC.

The Bushmaster and Sixu Pasi XA-180 (or Patria in Dutch service) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu_Pasi

Hi all,

just want to add two more.
The NL army is reported to get a command version of the CV9035 Mk.3 and the BAE Systems webpage says that there is dedicated command version of the CV9030 as well.

At last not only the turrets differ, the hulls do as well. For example some versions like the CV9030CH and CV9035 also have a raised rear compartment.

Nevertheless I would say the CV90 is a 'must have' item for 2008, isn't it.

In my opinion the CV9030 would be a very nice start.

Ben

I'd buy CV9030 in some quantity. The other guy's CV model is frankly horrible. I'm up for 30 models any day.

The Sisu XA-180 would make me cry. I've painted up way too many WZ-551 as proxies

Hello,

askosaura wrote:The Sisu XA-180 would make me cry.

I have to second that, a Sisu/Patria XA-180 would be very nice. At last I would prefer the more recent XA-203.
Nevertheless the XA series is in use with lots of countries, including some highly interesting versions.

Much to my wifes frowning, I will buy even more with the production of these fine mini's.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 1:56 pm

Just want to add the Driver Training version of the CV90 used by Norway (based on their CV9030) and the Dutch (based on the CV9035 Mk.3).

Kind regards,
Ben
