Introducing the BA-3 Soviet Armored Car Model Kit!

[The BA-3 was a heavy armored car developed in the Soviet Union in 1933, followed by a slightly changed model, the BA-6, in 1936. Both were based mostly on the BA-I, the most important difference being the new turret, the same one as in the T-26m 1993 and BT-5 tanks, and also equipped with the 45mm main gun. Around 180 BA-3 cars were built until production ceased in 1935.]

[Most BA-3 production was based on the Ford-Timken chassis, a 6x4 modification of the US Ford AA 4x2 truck, but the last batch was built on a Russian version of the same chassis -- the GAZ-AAA, continued to be used in the BA-6. The biggest limitation of the BA-3 was mobility, limited to roads or very hard ground, the result of its unnecessarily large weight. The innovation that slightly improved mobility was the auxiliary (`Overall`) tracks that could be fitted onto the read tandem wheels, effectively converting the car to half-track.]

This model kit contains parts molded in brown plastic, and includes soft plastic tires and photo-etched parts. Get ready to recreate a piece of Soviet military history with the BA-3 Armored Car Model Kit!
