HobbyBoss 1/72 scale Soviet launcher with R17 rocket of 9K72 missile complex “Elbrus” (Scud B) plastic model kit review

The R17 (SS-1C Scud B) was developed in the late 1950s and entered service in 1964. Originally, it used a fully tracked TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) similar to the R-11 (Scud A), but this proved unsuccessful and was replaced by a vehicle based on the eight-wheeled MAZ 543 truck chassis. While the Scud missile is no longer used by Russia, several African and South Asian countries still employ it.

The HobbyBoss 1/72 scale Soviet launcher with R17 rocket (Scud B) with its TEL vehicle increases its collection of truck-based Russian weapon systems in this scale. The parts show finely engraved details and scale thickness on parts like the grab handles.
