The Hobby Boss 1/35 model of the Russian 9K79 Tochka, or SS-21 Scarab, presents a faithful exterior interpretation that suits enthusiasts interested in period military hardware. The kit emphasises surface detail and authentic silhouette for display builds.

Service background and significance

First fielded by Soviet forces in the late 1970s, the 9K79 Tochka combined mobility with targeted strike capability. It was designed to deliver conventional or nuclear payloads, making it a notable component of Cold War-era arsenals. The model helps illustrate that historical context for collectors.

Construction process and presentation

This 1/35 kit includes many small elements that reward steady hands and organised assembly. When finished, the completed model works well as a centrepiece in a collection or as part of a larger diorama reflecting tactical deployments.
