Hobby Boss BA-20 1/35 Scale Mod.1939 Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale BA-20 Armored Car Mod.1939 model captures the look of a vehicle used for frontline reconnaissance in the late 1930s and early World War II. The kit reflects the BA-20s role in scouting and communications, and it is a strong subject for builders who enjoy period military subjects.

Background and Modelling Interest

Introduced in the late 1930s, the BA-20 saw service as a light armoured car fitted for observation and radio work. Its compact layout and distinctive turret make it interesting to reproduce in scale, and building this kit gives a clear sense of interwar armoured vehicle design and battlefield function.

Parts Quality and Assembly Notes

This Hobby Boss kit includes finely moulded components that represent the BA-20s riveted hull and turret details. Assembly requires careful gluing and patience, making it best suited to model makers who are comfortable with small parts and realistic finishing techniques. Once complete, the model displays well on a shelf or in a diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included
The kit has a good amount of small parts and precise fits, so it is best tackled by modellers with some experience. Careful trimming and trial fitting help avoid alignment issues.
Research period paint schemes and use enamel or acrylic paints matched to reference photos. Weathering washes and drybrushing bring out the rivet and panel detail on the BA-20.
There are detail sets for wiring and photoetched parts offered by third-party makers; these are optional for enhancing grills, radios and small fittings if you want extra realism.
