Hobby Boss 1/35 KrAZ-260B Tractor with 5P85TE TEL S-300PMU

The Hobby Boss 1/35 KrAZ-260B with its 5P85TE TEL represents a specialised transport used to carry and position S-300 missile components. The kit captures the utilitarian lines and functional layout of the original tractor and transport launcher.

Why This Subject Matters

Understanding the KrAZ-260B's role helps model makers appreciate support and logistics in military operations. The S-300 system relied on robust vehicle platforms to move and emplace launch assemblies efficiently.

Building Experience and Tips

The moulded details reward careful assembly. Take time with fit checks and light sanding, and plan painting in subassemblies to keep detail crisp. Decals or paint masks can improve markings and stencils.

Showcasing the Finished Model

On completion the model works well on a display base or within a larger diorama. Its distinctive silhouette makes it an interesting focal point for transport-focused scenes.
