Overview of the Hobby Boss 1/48 AMX Ground Attack (81741)

The Hobby Boss 1/48 AMX Ground Attack Aircraft kit provides a compact but detailed reconstruction of the AMX platform, suitable for collectors and skilled modellers. Its focus on surface shape and panel lines helps reproduce the aircrafts operational appearance.

Context and Faithful Replication

Born from a collaboration of Italian and Brazilian design work, the AMX served in a variety of tactical support tasks. This kit recreates characteristic elements of the airframe so builders can present a credible scale representation of the type.

Construction Notes and Presentation

Assembly rewards attention to small details, with parts that fit for those who take time to dry-fit and clean components. Once completed and painted, the model makes a neat display object that pairs well with other contemporary jets.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Painting needed for authentic appearance

Do spare parts or replacements exist for small broken pieces?

Manufacturers sometimes supply replacement parts, but many modellers repair small breaks with plastic cement or use thin styrene and filler to reconstruct damaged sections.

What finishing steps improve realism?

Using primer, layered base coats, subtle washes and light weathering will bring out panel lines and surface detail, giving the finished model a more convincing scale look.

Are clear parts well moulded for the canopy?

Clear parts are generally cleanly moulded but may require careful masking and polishing to achieve a distortion-free canopy before painting surrounding frames.

Can this kit accept simple upgrades like resin seats?

Yes, aftermarket resin or photoetched cockpit pieces can be fitted to improve interior detail, though fitting may require delicate trimming and extra glue work.

Is the finished model suitable for competition display?

With careful assembly, painting and finishing, the final model can meet display or club competition standards, especially if seams are cleaned and paintwork is neat.
