Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-20 Armoured Car Mod.1939 Summary

The Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-20 Armored Car Mod.1939 kit reproduces a Soviet light armoured car used for scouting and communication roles in the late 1930s and early wartime years. The compact vehicle is an attractive subject for scale military modelling.

Historical Role and Modelling Interest

Developed prior to the major campaigns of World War II, the BA-20 served mainly as a reconnaissance and radio-equipped vehicle thanks to its mobility. Model makers value the vehicle for its distinctive riveted plates and small turret, which translate well to 1/35 scale.

Kit Quality and Assembly Advice

This Hobby Boss release includes accurately moulded parts that reflect the BA-20s construction, such as rivet patterns and turret detail. Careful assembly and painting are required to achieve a museum-quality finish, so the kit is best for those comfortable with precision modelling.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included
The kit is detailed and involves many small components, so intermediate to advanced modellers will find it more enjoyable. Beginners can attempt it but should allow extra time for careful work.
Use a decal setting solution and apply decals to a gloss base to minimise silvering. Seal them with a clear coat before weathering for the best result.
Light washes, pin washes around panel lines and subtle chipping on edges bring out the rivet texture and create an authentic worn look.
