Vintage S-Model BA-64 Armoured Car WWII model kit in 1/35 scale, kit number E011, manufactured by S-Model of Lublin, Poland.
The kit depicts the BA-64, the Soviet light armored reconnaissance car used extensively during World War II.
This is an older multimedia vacuum-formed and resin kit, rather than a conventional injection-molded plastic model. The kit includes the white vacuum-formed body and structural components, along with cast resin wheels and other detail parts. Instructions are also included.
No decals are included. There is no indication on the box that decals were supplied with this kit, and the contents appear consistent with the type of limited-production vacuform/resin kits produced by S-Model.
This is an uncommon specialist model kit particularly suitable for collectors of vintage Eastern European kits, Soviet WWII armor, and modelers interested in early limited-production resin and vacuform kits.
Open box, unassembled kit.
The interior model components appear unused and in new condition. Included are the vacuum-formed plastic components, resin components and instructions.
No decals are included. There is no indication that a decal sheet was originally supplied with this kit.
The original box shows age and storage wear, including discoloration, soiling, staining and general surface and edge wear. Please examine the photographs carefully for the exact condition of the box and contents.
Because this is a vacuum-formed and resin kit requiring considerably more preparation and fitting than a conventional injection-molded model, it is best suited to an experienced modeler.
This kit was produced by S-Model of Lublin, Poland, whose address printed on the original packaging is ul. Szmaragdowa 42/23, 20-570 Lublin.
The exact production year is not printed on the visible packaging. S-Model was producing specialist resin and vacuum-formed models by the late 1980s/1990s; contemporary modeling sources document the company as a Polish producer of unusual limited-run subjects.
The BA-64 was a small four-wheel-drive Soviet armored car developed during World War II, principally for reconnaissance and liaison duties. Its compact armored body and small machine-gun turret made it one of the distinctive Soviet wheeled armored vehicles of the period.
The model will be carefully packed to protect both the original vintage box and the vacuum-formed and resin components during shipment.
The loose components will be secured within the package to minimize movement during transit.
