BA-10 Soviet Armoured Car by Hobby Boss 1/35

The Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-10 model reproduces the distinctive lines of the Soviet armoured car in a compact scale. Known for its operational role in early WWII, the BA-10's six-wheel layout and armour plates are represented with clear moulding and proportional accuracy.

Context and Replica Faithfulness

In service, the BA-10 provided reconnaissance and light engagement capability, traits that translate into the kit's accurate external features. The model preserves the vehicle's functional look, making it useful for historical displays and reference builds.

Tips for Assembly and Finishing

The build suits modellers with some kit experience; parts need careful cleaning and precise gluing to achieve crisp seams. Painting and weathering will greatly enhance the BA-10's visual authenticity, so plan layers for wear and grime.

Showcasing the Completed Model

A finished BA-10 stands out on a shelf or in a small vignette, where panel lines and surface texture respond well to washes and drybrushing. Its compact footprint makes it easy to include alongside infantry or terrain pieces.
