Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-3 Historic Armoured Car

The BA-3 was produced from 1933 and is recognised for heavy armour and its adaptive chassis arrangements. Early versions used a Ford-Timken undercarriage, later superseded by adaptations on the GAZ-AAA design, and auxiliary tracks improved off-road mobility when needed.

Construction Details

The Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-3 kit contains over 290 parts, including a complex multi-slide hull and a turret split into three main pieces. The inclusion of photo-etched parts raises the level of surface detail, making careful assembly worthwhile.

Display Considerations

After assembly the model reaches approximately 140.8mm length and 59.5mm width. Rubber tyres and accurate moulded detail make it well suited to shelf display or inclusion in a period diorama alongside other interwar armoured vehicles.

How long will the build take?

Build time depends on experience and finishing level; expect multiple sessions to assemble, fit etched parts and paint to a good standard.

Can I swap tyres or add aftermarket wheels?

Aftermarket wheels and tyres exist for some 1/35 kits; confirm compatibility with Hobby Boss 83838 measurements before purchasing replacements.

What paint sequence gives best results?

Prime the assembled hull, apply base colours, then use filters, washes and dry brushing to build depth. Masking small details before final varnish helps protect delicate work.
