Hobby Boss 82926 Soviet 9K714 OKA 1/72 – Plastic Model Kit

The Hobby Boss 82926 Soviet 9K714 OKA model in 1/72 scale is an excellent choice for military enthusiasts and advanced modelers who appreciate authenticity and a high level of detail. This plastic assembly kit is a miniature replica of one of the most intriguing rocket systems of the Cold War—the Soviet 9K714 OKA ballistic missile, also known by the NATO designation SS-23 “Spider.”

The model features a Soviet mobile tactical launcher, widely used by the USSR from 1979 to 1988, during the Cold War era. The 9K714 OKA was designed as a mobile surface-to-surface missile system capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. In reality, it was primarily operated by the Soviet Army until the late 1980s and was withdrawn following the dissolution of the USSR in compliance with the INF Treaty. Although the nominal range did not exceed 500 km, the effectiveness and mobility of the system were highly regarded among specialists. The 9K714 OKA launchers were frequently seen in numerous Warsaw Pact military exercises, and such units were likely deployed in Eastern Europe until their ultimate decommissioning.

This Hobby Boss kit is precisely manufactured from high-quality injection-molded plastic. The set includes all necessary parts to build a transporter-erector-launcher with missile, featuring a high level of detail in the chassis, driver's cabin, and missile section. The model does not require soldering, and the clear assembly instructions greatly facilitate the building process. The manufacturer has included a decal sheet with authentic Soviet markings and detailed sprues for parts such as headlights and chassis elements.
