Hobby Boss 83839 1/35 Soviet BA-6 Armored Car Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet BA-6 kit captures the distinctive shape and fittings of the 1930s Soviet armoured car. The moulding preserves panel lines and turret features for a convincing small-scale replica.

Historical Role and Model Fidelity

The BA-6 was active in several 1930s conflicts and early wartime operations, valued for its mobility and armament mix. This kit reflects those traits with detailed gun mantlets and machine gun mounts that match period photos.

Construction Notes for Modellers

Expect a measured build process with many small components; test-fit parts before gluing and use gentle sanding on seams. Accurate turret rotation and roadwheel placement improve the final look.

How It Fits in a Display

At 1/35 scale the BA-6 is compact enough for grouped dioramas of interwar or early WWII scenes, offering a neat focal point with clear historical character.
