Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-10 Armored Car Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-10 armored car kit recreates a key Soviet WWII vehicle with careful attention to form and proportion. The BA-10 earned a reputation for rugged service and this model reflects that heritage while offering a rewarding project for experienced hobbyists.

Origins and Model Accuracy

Historically, the BA-10 combined mobility and protection through its six-wheel chassis and armoured hull, features that are well represented in this kit. Hobby Boss captures the vehicle's silhouette and surface detail, making it a useful reference piece for collectors and modellers focused on realism.

Assembly Notes for Builders

This kit leans toward a moderate build difficulty and is best tackled by those with some prior modelling experience. Parts are finely moulded and require tidy gluing and trimming to reach the best finish, rewarding careful construction and patient painting.

Finished Model Presentation

When completed, the BA-10 makes a solid display subject thanks to its distinct profile and visible armour detail. It sits well on a shelf or as part of a larger WWII diorama, showing off weathering and finish work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authentic finish
The kit is classed as moderate difficulty; careful part preparation and some experience with small-scale polystyrene kits will help achieve clean joints and alignment.
Use polystyrene cement for main joins and a fine precision knife and sanding tools for cleanup. CA glue can be useful for small fittings and photo-etch if you add upgrades.
Base colours are typically Soviet green tones of the era; reference period photos and paint brand guides for accurate shades and weathering layers.
Yes. Its scale and detail suit small dioramas showing road or field scenes, and the 1/35 size pairs well with common infantry and accessory sets.
