What Is It?
Bring the fighting compartment of your BA‑3 or BA‑6 armoured car to life with this high‑detail photo-etched brass ammunition‑rack set. Tailored for the Hobby Boss 1/35 kit, the fret recreates the distinctive interior ammo bins, shell clips, retaining straps, vertical canister racks and turret‑side brackets that housed 45 mm rounds and DT drum magazines aboard the real vehicles. Etched in tough 0 .15 mm brass, each perforation, rivet row and buckle appears at true scale thickness, replacing soft kit detail with crisp metal realism. With 48 parts, the set offers a rewarding medium‑level project that will turn an empty hull into a combat‑ready interior. This kit ensures authenticity and precision. The components are lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for easy handling during assembly. By using this kit, you can transform your BA-3/BA-6 model into a MASTERPIECE with museum-quality detail.

Historical Background
The BA‑3 and BA‑6 carried up to 60 rounds of 45 mm ammunition and multiple 7.62 mm drum magazines, stowed in welded racks along the hull sides and turret ring. Proper stowage prevented rounds from rattling across rough terrain and allowed rapid reloads during engagements from Spain to Finland. Microdesign’s set captures the distinctive perforated bins and strap‑secured clips seen in period interior photos, letting you depict a combat‑ready crew station with unmatched accuracy.
