Hobby Boss 1/35 KrAZ-255B introduction for model makers

The KrAZ-255B became a notable vehicle after its 1965 debut, replacing the KrAZ-214 with upgraded capability. Its signature upgrades included a V-8 diesel producing about 240 horsepower, hydraulic power assist for steering and an internal tyre inflation system allowing pressure changes from the cab.

Parts layout and mechanical realism

Hobby Boss has reproduced these features in a 1/35 kit made up of over 510 parts across 12 sprues. The model contains a full drive train build with engine, gearbox and suspension components, giving builders an in-depth assembly focused on mechanical accuracy.

Model finishing and display value

The kit presents well as a display piece. It includes hollow rubber tyres with realistic tread detail, well modelled wheel hubs, clear glazing for the windows and a single photo etched component to refine the final appearance.

Yes, the level of mechanical detail and included parts make it well suited to a museum style or display build when carefully assembled and finished.
The kit provides decal options and painting guides; additional reference may be useful for specific historical markings and unit schemes.
Work over a tray, use fine tweezers and cut parts cleanly from sprues. Test fit parts before gluing and organise sprues so small details are easy to find.
