Introducing the Hobby Boss Motobronevagon MBV-2 Armored Train Model Kit!

Since the invention of the railroad, trains have always played a major role in wars, particularly for troop transport. But even as early as the Civil War, specially armed armored trains were used in active combat. For about a hundred years, ironclad trains were running the railroads of Europe. To this day, only a few survive.

The Motobronevagon MBV-2, produced in 1938, is a self-propelled vehicle armed with three 76.2mm guns and ten machine guns, with a crew of fifteen. Only two of these heavy-class armored trains were built, which saw extensive action in WWII against the Nazis. One of the trains is now on display at The Kubinka Tank Museum.

This kit will measure about 57cm long and 9.4cm wide when completed, and comes with photo-etched parts.
