Hobby Boss 82931 Russian BM-21 Grad Multiple Rocket Launcher 1/72 – plastic model kit

Hobby Boss 82931 Russian BM-21 Grad Multiple Rocket Launcher 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit of the iconic Soviet BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher. The model is produced in the popular and detailed 1/72 scale, making it perfect for both dioramas and standalone display among collections of military vehicles.

The BM-21 Grad is a famous Soviet 122 mm multiple rocket launcher system mounted on the Ural-375D truck chassis (and from 1976, on the Ural-4320). The system was introduced to the Soviet Union’s arsenal in 1963, following the withdrawal of the obsolete BM-14. The BM-21 Grad quickly gained a reputation as an effective, mobile, and reliable weapon—capable of delivering rapid barrages over large areas. It was widely used by various armed forces, especially those of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet-allied states, in conflicts such as the Iran–Iraq War, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Syrian civil war, and military operations in Ukraine.

The presented Hobby Boss kit replicates the original with great attention to detail. The model consists of over 50 plastic parts spread across three sprues, as well as separate cab and tire components. Thanks to modern manufacturing technologies, the model features precisely reproduced proportions, cab details, and launcher layout. The kit also includes decals, allowing for realistic vehicle markings. The set contains no resin, photo-etched, or metal parts.
