M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen (ADGZ-Steyr), 1/35 - Hobby Boss 83890

Release scheduled for September 2026.

The M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen (ADGZ-Steyr) model kit at the 1/35 scale, reference 83890 by Hobby Boss, reproduces the heavy armored wheeled reconnaissance vehicle Steyr ADGZ, also known as the M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. This plastic kit to be assembled features a particularly recognizable wheel-based armored vehicle design from the period before the Second World War.

The Steyr ADGZ M35

The Steyr ADGZ was developed for the Austrian army in the mid-1930s under the designation M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. After the Anschluss, vehicles were used by German forces, notably in police and security missions. Its angular silhouette, symmetrical hull, and wheeled running gear make it an original subject for a collection of European armored vehicles from the interwar period and the Second World War.

The Hobby Boss kit

Offered at 1/35 scale, once assembled this model measures 180.3 mm long and 66.4 mm wide. The kit includes more than 310 parts, rubber tires, as well as photo-etched parts. The decals help complete the vehicle’s finish.

The 1/35 scale is a popular format in military modeling: each real vehicle dimension is reduced by a factor of 35. It makes it easy to include this armored car in a blind spot collection, a diorama scene, or a display dedicated to wheeled vehicles.

Assembly and finishing

As with any plastic model kit to be assembled, preparing the parts before gluing helps ensure the quality of the final result. Careful deburring, test-fitting sub-assemblies, and using glue suited to plastic are recommended. Small parts and photo-etched elements are best handled with precision tools.

Painting can be done after applying a primer to even out the surfaces. Decals should be applied to paint that is fully dry, and using suitable setting/softening solutions helps them adhere properly to raised details. A light weathering then highlights volumes, hull details, and the running gear.
