Hobby Boss 1/35 Scale PLA PLL05 120mm Mortar-Howitzer by Hobby Boss 82487

The Hobby Boss 82487 1/35 kit recreates the PLA PLL05 120mm self-propelled mortar-howitzer with a strong focus on scale accuracy. The miniature captures the vehicle's hybrid mortar/howitzer layout and its 6x6 ZSL-92 derived running gear for authentic stance and proportions.

Vehicle Role and Capabilities

The PLL05 is designed to provide both high-angle fire for close targets and flatter-trajectory shots for longer ranges, giving it tactical versatility. In service the full-size machine can drive at up to 85 km/h on roads and has amphibious capability thanks to its rear propellers.

Build Notes and Detail Highlights

With over 270 separate pieces, the kit delivers a rewarding challenge for dedicated modellers. Multi-directional slide-moulded sections are used for the hull and turret to preserve accurate contours, and included photo-etched parts enhance fine surface detail. The kit also allows the crew access door to be modelled in either position to suit your vignette.

Assembly time varies by skill, but expect multiple evenings for careful construction and extra time for painting and weathering due to the model's detailed components.
Standard military green mixes work well for the basic scheme; modellers often layer washes and drybrushing to bring out panel lines, rivets and photo-etched details.
The kit uses hollow rubber tyres with detailed treads to give a realistic look and slight compression when fitted, improving authenticity on display models.
