Overview of the Hobby Boss BA-20 Mod.1939 1/35

The Hobby Boss 1/35 BA-20 Armoured Car Model 1939 reproduces a light Soviet armoured car notable for early war reconnaissance duties. The kit captures the vehicle's compact proportions and lends itself to historically accurate builds and displays.

Period Context and Modelling Appeal

Introduced in the late 1930s, the BA-20 became known for its scouting and communications function, often operating ahead of larger formations. For modellers, the car offers an opportunity to explore pre-war armour design and period radio equipment fitting.

Construction Details and Display Potential

The kit includes precisely moulded parts that reflect the BA-20s riveted armour and turret features. It requires detailed assembly and finishing, rewarding modellers who take care with fit, paint and weathering. The finished model makes a compact but striking addition to a collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included
Build time varies with skill and finishing level; an experienced modeller might complete assembly in several evenings, while detailed painting and weathering can extend the project to weeks.
Yes, standard 1/35 figures, stowage and scenic accessories fit well with the BA-20, allowing you to create realistic dioramas or crewed display scenes.
Use thin paint layers and avoid heavy brushing over rivets. Apply a light wash to emphasise depth, then lift highlights with a fine drybrush to retain definition.
