Hobby Boss 82912 1/72 Krasnaja Zvezda Armoured Train Summary

This 1/72 static model recreates the Soviet Krasnaja Zvezda armoured draisine, a wartime adaptation dating from December 1941 that used a KV tank turret and V-2K Diesel engines. The actual vehicle entered service in February 1942 and this kit reflects those core features.

Construction Highlights and Display Use

The kit contains more than 60 parts across four sprues and an upper hull, producing a finished model 160.8 mm long and 45.48 mm wide. Newly tooled elements increase the fidelity of surface detail and make assembly more precise for careful builders.

Finished models perform well as standalone display pieces or incorporated into dioramas that show rail operations and small scale battlefield scenery. It is a compact but notable addition to any WWII collection.

Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, a fine file, hobby knife and plastic cement are essential; consider tweezers and a small drill for finer fittings.
Yes, the kit includes a step by step instruction sheet showing sprue layouts and assembly order to help with parts placement and painting stages.
There are aftermarket sets and photoetch items for modellers who want to add rail hardware, finer grills or extra surface detail to improve realism.
Layered paint, pin washes and light chipping will bring out the texture on the hull and turret; use matt varnish to unify weathering effects.
