About product

Hobby Boss 1:72 APA-5D Airport Starter Vehicle

An injection-molded plastic kit of the airport starting vehicle APA-5D in 1:72 scale from Hobby Boss. It is a ground power and starting unit built on the chassis of the off-road truck URAL-4320. Per the manufacturer's listing, the package contains plastic sprues and rubber tires; it is a smaller, quick build, also suited to an airfield diorama.

The real subject

The APA-5D is a special airport vehicle that serves as a mobile source of electrical power and helps start aircraft engines and test onboard systems right on the apron. It is based on the URAL-4320, a rugged off-road truck renowned for its cross-country capability. Thanks to the mobile power source, airfield crews could get aircraft running independently of fixed ground infrastructure.

Building and painting tips

In 1:72 scale, be careful with the small parts and clean the casting stubs with a sharp knife. Assemble and fit the chassis and axles, and fit the rubber tires only after painting. Prime the model, paint it with an airbrush and add weathering with a wash and pigments to bring out its working life on the airfield apron.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in airfield and ground support equipment
  • Builders of aviation dioramas in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who appreciate an unusual special-purpose vehicle
  • Collectors of equipment on the URAL-4320 chassis

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
