2S19-M1 Self-propelled Howitzer, 1/72 - Hobby Boss 82927

The 2S19-M1 Self-propelled Howitzer Hobby Boss 82927 is a plastic model kit to be assembled at 1/72. It reproduces the 2S19-M1 self-propelled howitzer, also associated with the designation Msta-S, in a compact format suited to modern armored-vehicle collections and small-scale dioramas.

The 2S19 is a Russian self-propelled artillery system mounted on an armored chassis and equipped with a turret housing an artillery piece. This type of vehicle is designed to provide indirect fire support while retaining the mobility needed to accompany ground forces. Its distinctive architecture, with a tracked hull and imposing turret, makes it an interesting subject for enthusiasts of contemporary military vehicles.

The reference 82927 includes more than 40 parts distributed across two sprues, as well as the main hull, turret, and running-gear components. A decal sheet is also included. Once assembled, the model measures 103.2 mm in length and 50.2 mm in width.

At a scale of 1/72, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 72. This format allows for a detailed representation without requiring a large display space. It is also suitable for building a coherent collection of modern armored vehicles, support vehicles, and artillery equipment.

As with any plastic model kit, careful preparation of the parts before gluing helps ensure a clean result: removing attachment points, lightly sanding, and dry-fitting sub-assemblies. Applying a primer then makes painting easier and helps you check the condition of the surfaces. Decals can be applied to a smooth finish before adding the final protective coat and weathering tailored to your project.
