Hobby Boss 1/35 ZTZ 99 MBT: product brief

The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale ZTZ 99 MBT model kit renders a modern main battle tank in scale, intended for modellers who value authentic lines and a moderately challenging build. It fits well into displays of contemporary armour.

Background and technical traits

The ZTZ 99 is recognised for advances in firepower, mobility and crew protection. Influences from earlier designs like the T-72 are visible, but the ZTZ 99's extended hull and modular armour system mark clear improvements that the kit recreates.

Modelling process and display considerations

The model features detailed turret and hull elements that reflect welded steel construction and offers options for fitting composite or arrow-shaped spaced armour modules. These choices increase the kit's realism and provide options for varied display builds.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for finishing
Beginners with patience can complete the kit, but some experience with glue and painting will help achieve a neater finish.
Yes, the kit's detail and modular armour options make it a good candidate for small dioramas or display vignettes depicting modern armoured scenarios.
Handle finished models by supported points, keep dusted with a soft brush and avoid humid storage to preserve paint and adhesives.
Decals are typically included; apply them over a gloss coat, use setting solution as needed, and seal with a matt or satin varnish to protect them.
