A new delivery:
Chinese light APC/ISV ZFB-05 aka New Star has been adopted by the Chinese PAP (People's Armed Police), put to service in peacekeeping operations in Haiti and is being exported to several African countries.
Variants illustrated here include:
-ZFB-05 basic light APC with MG/AGL in ring mount
-ZFB-05B, same with added armor on the front cab
-ZFB-05A with ring-mounted 23mm autocannon
-ZFB-08 lengthened APC version with ring-mounted 23mm autocannon
-(name unknown) proposed SP SAM variant with QW-2/4 teleoperated mount.
North Korean light APC / scout car only known as M-1992. A basic recon version has been paraded, armed with a AGS-17 AGL and a pintle-mounted AT-4/5 Fagot/Konkurs ATGM launcher.
A short-range 130mm MBRL derivative has also been observed.
It appears that I had forgotten to post the existing
CV-90 series, though it was already included in the Cold War mod R.C.0.7 release.
Oversight corrected:
Included variants are:
-Swedish CV-9040 aka Strf 9040, basic IFV version
-Uparmored Swedish variant Strf 9040C, used in overseas deployments e.g. in Liberia and Afghanistan
-Export CV-9030 Mk2 as seen in Norway, Switzerland and Finland
-Export CV-9035 Mk3 as seen in Netherlands and Denmark
-Proposed CV-90105 light tank with TML-105 turret, here in Swedish camo (prototype only)
-Proposed CV-90120 light tank with 120mm gun in NATO standard camo (prototype only)
-CV-90 with AMOS twin-barreled automatic mortar system, here in two versions of the AMOS turret, tentatively set up for domestic production and export; no known production to this date
-CV-90 with projected Bofors BUSTER KE-ATGM system; some serious work was done on this in the 90s but the project was shelved for want of a threat on Sweden
-Swedish CV-9040AA aka Lvkv 9040, with added 3D radar for AA protection of mechanized troops.
-Swedish Lvkv 9040C, same as above with the add-on armor kit from the Strf 9040C
-Surveillance/AOP version known as Epbv 90 in Sweden, without autocannon.
Czech(oslovakian) RM-70 SPMRL series with various versions (with/out blade and armored cab) and proposed 223mm derivates (RM-22 and MORAK with new extended cab).
This is still a work in progress as there are no camo versions yet. I will post a completed set when done.
Work is still ongoing, I hope I will have more to post soon.

The level of color contrast on the M-80's set is a bit too much for my tastes but the level of detail is great. I realy like the Mi-28s and the Praga.

@Pierre, actually, the M-80 is quite subdued compared to the BMP series. I think you'll prefer the CV90 in this regard. This is my new base of work, and I find it difficult to deal with sloped surfaces.
