Overview of the 1/35 39M CSABA Model

The Hobby Boss 1/35 Hungarian 39M CSABA Armored Car kit represents this wartime scout vehicle with clear panel lines and proportionate components. The moulding captures the vehicle geometry to support accurate finishing and display.

Background and Combat Use

Entering service in 1939, the 39M CSABA earned use as a reconnaissance and liaison vehicle. Its rotating turret and driven axles made it versatile across varied terrain, features that the kit reproduces for scale authenticity.

Assembly Experience and Paint Tips

This kit includes well defined parts for the hull, turret and fittings, offering a satisfying build for intermediate modellers. Painting in period colours and adding washes will emphasise panel detail and give a realistic patina.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Essential tools include sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, plastic cement or superglue, and fine brushes or an airbrush for painting.
This kit focuses on external detail; interior components are minimal, so interior display requires aftermarket parts or scratchbuilding.
Decals are typical water slide style and provide standard markings; check references if you require region specific insignia.
Yes, a small diorama with dirt tracks and low vegetation complements the reconnaissance theme and helps showcase weathering work.
While the assembled kit looks tidy unpainted, painting and shading are key to achieving an authentic finished model.
