Hobby Boss 83834 - 1/35 French GCT 155mm AU-F1 SPH: Kit Overview for Modelers

The Hobby Boss 83834 kit recreates the French GCT 155mm AU-F1 Self-Propelled Howitzer in 1/35 scale, focusing on true-to-life proportions and surface detail. Modelers will find this kit reflects the AU-F1's distinctive turret lines and chassis layout without shortcutting core features.

Background and Scale Accuracy

The AU-F1 represented a notable development in late 20th century artillery design, and this kit aims to capture those engineering cues at scale. Fine casting details and carefully moulded track links help convey the mechanical complexity of the original vehicle.

Assembly and Display

This kit is made from quality plastic and requires glue and basic modelling tools to assemble. With careful painting and finishing, the completed model makes a striking addition to military displays or dioramas.

Specifications

The kit has fine detail that suits modellers with some experience. Beginners can complete it too by working slowly, following the instructions, and using basic modelling tools and glue.
Use acrylic or enamel paints formulated for plastic models, with fine brushes for detail work. Priming parts before painting improves adhesion and brings out panel lines.
Yes, many builders add photo-etched details, metal barrels, or scratchbuilt accessories to boost realism. Check compatibility and plan modifications before cutting parts.
