Overview of the Hobby Boss 82912 1/72 Krasnaja Zvezda Armoured Train

This 1/72 rendition of the Soviet Krasnaja Zvezda armoured draisine recreates a unique WWII experiment, reflecting the December 1941 adaptation that used a KV tank turret and V-2K Diesel power. The prototype entered service in February 1942 and the model captures the engineering spirit of that period.

Build Quality and Display Potential

The static assembly kit is engineered with accuracy and comprises more than 60 pieces arranged across four sprues plus an upper hull. Measuring 160.8 mm long and 45.48 mm wide, it conveys the compact but imposing silhouette of the original armoured train. New tooling improves surface detail and part fit for a cleaner finish.

Once completed, the model makes a strong addition to any WWII display case or diorama setup. Its blend of historic interest and fine moulding makes it suited to shelf displays alongside tracked and railborne subjects.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 160.8 mm
  • Width: 45.48 mm
  • Total Parts: 60+
  • Sprues: 4 sprues and upper hull
The kit is classed as a moderate build: parts are well moulded but fine detailing and careful fit may demand steady hands and basic modelling tools.
Standard plastic cement is ideal for structural joins, while acrylic or enamel model paints suit the plastic surfaces. Use a fine brush or airbrush for turret and weathering effects.
Yes. At 1/72 scale the train pairs well with other small-armoured vehicles and railway scenic elements to create a convincing period scene.
