PLA ZSD90 1/35 Scale Model by Hobby Boss 82473 - 1/35

This 1/35 scale kit recreates the PLA ZSD90 Armoured Personnel Carrier with careful attention to external features. Hobby Boss delivers a faithful small-scale interpretation that highlights the vehicle's troop transport function and rugged silhouette.

Service Context and Design Notes

The ZSD90 demonstrates a trend toward mechanised infantry mobility, combining basic armour protection with operational range. Modelling the vehicle gives insight into how designers balance speed, capacity and protection in light APCs.

Build Process and Presentation

The kit contains finely moulded components that suit modellers who enjoy precise assembly and painting. With patient construction and weathering the finished model fits well in modern military dioramas or as part of a mixed AFV display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed components
Recommended for intermediate modellers; beginners can attempt it but should expect a careful, stepwise build and some trial fitting.
The kit's exterior lends itself to upgrades like resin accessories or photo-etched parts, but interior detailing is limited unless you modify the hull.
Subtle washes, dry brushing and light chipping emphasise scale and panel lines without overpowering the vehicles compact profile.
Yes, standard modelling primers adhere well to PS plastic; use a light coat to preserve surface detail before painting.
