Hobby Boss 82912 1/72 Krasnaja Zvezda Armoured Train Brief

The 1/72 scale model represents the Soviet Krasnaja Zvezda armoured draisine, a December 1941 adaptation that incorporated a KV turret and V-2K Diesel engines. The real vehicle first appeared in February 1942, and this kit aims to capture that wartime innovation in miniature.

Assembly Notes and Showcase Use

Produced as a static display kit, it consists of over 60 components laid out on four sprues plus an upper hull. With a length of 160.8 mm and a width of 45.48 mm, the scale reproduction retains the compact profile of the original. Newly tooled parts increase realistic surface detail and improve assembly fit.

This model is well suited for display cabinets or as part of a WWII rail diorama, offering collectors a historically themed focal point that complements other small scale armour pieces.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 160.8 mm
  • Width: 45.48 mm
  • Total Parts: 60+

A modeller with intermediate skills should allow several evenings for careful construction, painting and detailing, depending on finishing choices like weathering.
The kit provides basic markings; for historical variants you can source aftermarket decal sheets to add unit markings or stencilling.
Out of the box the kit is accurate at this scale, but modellers often add fine photoetch or scratchbuilt bits to enhance rail fittings and surface detail.
