Hobby Boss adds another variant of this WWII-era Soviet vehicle to its line of BA-20 kits. Here they share photos of what to expect inside the box.
Compared to its predecessor, the BA-20M was a modernized version that featured a new and wider conical turret, and had the 71-TK-3 as the standard radio set. Whilst the early BA-20M command vehicles had a frame antenna, later vehicles that were produced featured a whip antenna. Another improvement was a bigger fuel tank capacity thus increasing its operational range. The BA-20M saw combat service in the invasion of Poland, the annexation of the Baltic Republics, the Winter War, and the beginning months of the Western Front of the Second World War.

Hobby Boss’ Soviet BA-20M Armored Car is a 1/35 scale plastic kit containing over 150 parts. It includes photo-etched parts, rubber tires, and a decal sheet to depict the kit as a captured vehicle. As built the model stands at 128mm in length and 50.8mm in width.

Background information on the vehicle sourced from Russati.su and Wikipedia.
