Hobby Boss 85506 1/35 KrAZ-255B Military Truck Kit  [HB-85506]

Hobby Boss 85506 KrAZ-255B model overview for modellers

The Russian KrAZ-255B has an important place in military vehicle history, first appearing in 1965 as an upgraded successor to the KrAZ-214. It introduced a V-8 diesel rated at about 240 horsepower in place of the earlier six cylinder engine, and was noted for its hydraulic steering booster and an onboard tyre inflation system that let crews adjust pressure from the cab.

Build details and parts count

This Hobby Boss kit captures that character in 1/35 scale with more than 510 parts across 12 sprues, delivering a thorough build with a full drive train assembly that includes engine, gearbox and suspension components. The detailed components make for a satisfying assembly for those comfortable with complex kits.

Presentation and finishing touches

Beyond construction, the model is well suited for display. The hollow rubber tyres show realistic tread profiles and the wheel hubs are finely modelled. Transparent parts for the windscreen and side windows enhance realism, while the included photo etched piece adds delicate detailing to the final result.
