Hobby Boss 82468 Meng Shi 1.5 ton MLUV-Hardtop Version A (1/35)

The Hobby Boss 82468 Meng Shi 1.5 ton MLUV-Hardtop Version A plastic model kit in 1:35 scale is a highly detailed miniature replica of the Chinese military MLUV (Multi-purpose Light Utility Vehicle). This model is one of the latest offerings for fans of modern military vehicles and collectors of equipment currently used in the Chinese PLA.

The original Meng Shi (translated as “Eternal Warrior”), also known as the Dongfeng EQ2050, is a versatile off-road vehicle inspired by the American HMMWV (Humvee), serving as the primary tactical vehicle of the Chinese Armed Forces. Hardtop Version A features an enclosed, armored cabin that provides increased protection for both crew and cargo in harsh combat conditions. The vehicle debuted with the Chinese army in the early 21st century and is still used today in peacekeeping, patrol, and logistics missions both domestically and abroad, such as with UN contingents.

The Hobby Boss 82468 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precise details and ease of assembly. The kit includes a complete set of sprues with parts for building the body, chassis, interior, and details such as light guards and the turret. The model does not require resin or metal parts, yet its high level of detail provides an extremely realistic final effect even without additional accessories. The construction allows for interior detailing, enabling the modeler to create open doors and a detailed steering system and crew compartments.

The set does not include glue or paints – this allows you to choose your own painting scheme, corresponding to authentic camouflage used by the Chinese ground forces. The model belongs to the category of 1/35 scale plastic model kits.
