1/35 39M CSABA Armoured Car - Model Summary

This 1/35 rendition of the Hungarian 39M CSABA Armoured Car from Hobby Boss presents the vehicle with precise body lines and turret detail. The kit provides a faithful platform for modellers to recreate the vehicle's wartime appearance.

Design Origins and Field Role

First produced in 1939, the 39M CSABA served primarily as a reconnaissance and liaison vehicle. The model highlights the rotating turret and drive layout that made it effective across diverse terrain.

Construction Advice and Finishing Ideas

The parts are finely moulded to capture the CSABA's geometric panels and fittings. Builders will find the assembly engaging, with scope for paint, decals and weathering to add period authenticity.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit suits beginner to intermediate modellers who are comfortable with small parts and careful painting; newcomers should allow extra time for practice.
Consult historical books, museum archives and reputable online references to match unit markings and camouflage used on the 39M CSABA.
Priming helps paint adhesion and reveals surface imperfections to sand before final coats; a light grey or white primer is often recommended.
Use thin washes to bring out panel lines, subtle chipping with a fine brush, and powdered pigments for dust effects to achieve believable wear.
