About product

Soviet BA-6 Armor Car in 1:35 scale from Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet armored car BA-6 in 1:35 scale from Hobby Boss. The model belongs to a range of interwar Soviet equipment that the manufacturer builds on the common basis of three-axle truck chassis.

The real subject

The BA-6 was based on the three-axle GAZ-AAA truck and followed on from the earlier BA-3 type. It carried a rotating turret taken from the T-26 light tank with a 45mm gun and a coaxial machine gun, so it was a vehicle with the firepower of a tank but with only light armor and road mobility. It was built in the second half of the 1930s and the Soviets used it in the Spanish Civil War, in the fighting at Khalkhin Gol and in the Winter War with Finland. A few captured examples also served with the Finnish army. By the fighting of 1941 the vehicle was already obsolete.

Building and painting tips

First finish the frame, the axles and the chassis, and only then fit the body, otherwise the stance of the car is hard to line up. On armored cars the lines of the plates show a great deal, so it pays to sand the joints smooth and spray the surface with primer. After the base green the shape of the body comes out well with a dark wash in the engraving. Concentrate the mud effects on the wheels, the fenders and the lower areas, where wheeled vehicles collect the most dirt.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet interwar equipment
  • Those interested in armored cars and wheeled vehicles
  • Builders of dioramas from the Spanish Civil War or the Winter War
  • Modelers who want a smaller but striking piece for the display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The BA-6 is a lightened and refined successor to the BA-3 on the same three-axle chassis. The differences are in the details of the body and the equipment; the armament remained a 45mm gun in the turret.

It is based on the turret of the T-26 light tank with a 45mm gun and a coaxial machine gun. That is exactly what made the BA-6 an unusually heavily armed armored car for its time.

Yes. Wheeled vehicles work well on a country road or in a city scene, and settings from Spain, Mongolia and the Finnish front all suit the BA-6.
