Soviet BA Heavy Armoured Cars - BA-10 TS1 Painted 190322
« on: April 03, 2018, 12:59:06 pm »
Apart from our April Fool tease, this is going to be a quick and simple kit with minimal options.  Our plan is to release a few plastic kits without options or variants to cut down on development time.  These vehicles don't have many variants historically in the first place.

Enjoy!
;)

Nice choice of subject.  And the lack of options is fine.  Please provide separate hatches and doors though.

Can we have more armoured cars?  German 8-wheelers and something British?

The tracks would be a nice touch. Maybe as a resin add-on?

Very nice, definitely would get a few of these in plastic. Isn't something that really needs much in the way of options, so that makes sense.

After the M8/M20 (US), the 222 (Germany) and BA 6 (USSR) we need a daimler or Humber AC for the UK.

The BA-6 will be a welcomed sight.

For armored cars, we only have two 1:56 scale plastic model kits that I know of:
1) M8/M20 combo kit - (RM, WG)
2) SdKfz 234/2 Puma - (WG)

Considering the number of armored cars used in WW2, this is a little surprising.

A simple yet complete kit, no fancy options.  This is actually a spinoff project from our T-26 kit.

There are still debates within the studio whether we should do this as a complete kit in plastic or resin/plastic combo kit.  Will wait and see on more feedback.













Enjoy!

This looks great!  I have a particular liking for armoured cars, so I'm a bit biased, but I would definitely want this kit in plastic.  However, this particular vehicle wasn't built in quantity, unlike the BA-10 (captured examples of which were also used by the Axis).  Would a BA-10 be a better bet?

We have a similar discussion among the studio designers.  We do have the intention to do a BA-10, but most components on the T-26 sprues are not usable; therefore doing a BA-10 would mean more new moulds for the new sprues.

@Rubicon - Which components would be resin in a combo kit and how do you see the relative pros and cons of each approach?
