Hobby Boss 82933 Sam-2 Missile with Launcher Cabin 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit of a missile launcher for self-assembly. The product replicates the legendary Soviet S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile system, known in the West as the SA-2 "Guideline." This model in 1/72 scale allows you to recreate both the characteristic two-stage missile and the launcher cabin with great accuracy.

The SA-2 "Guideline" was widely used by the USSR and Warsaw Pact member states and was exported to many countries worldwide. This system participated in numerous armed conflicts throughout the Cold War era, starting from the late 1950s. A particularly well-known historical event was the downing of the Lockheed U-2 spy plane piloted by Gary Powers on May 1, 1960, over Soviet Yekaterinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk).

The launcher and missile were designed to engage high-altitude targets, such as bombers or strategic reconnaissance aircraft. The model depicts the two-stage missile with its distinctive tandem booster and a complete set of aerodynamic control surfaces. The set allows for accurate assembly of components such as:

• The missile with detailed wings and control surfaces
• Launcher cabin with structural elements
• Main arm support of the launcher
• Details of the guidance system's antennas and panels

The model is made entirely of high-quality plastic. The kit includes 3 sprues containing more than 20 carefully reproduced parts. It does not include accessories such as a metal barrel or photo-etched parts; there are also no resin elements, making it highly accessible even for less advanced modelers.

Product category: plastic model kit (gun/anti-aircraft missile)

The model is recommended both for beginners and intermediate modelers interested in 20th-century military equipment, as well as for collectors of anti-aircraft models. Thanks to the clear instructions and relatively simple assembly, we rate the difficulty level at 2/5. It is an excellent base for upgrades and historical diorama foundations.

Why choose Hobby Boss 82933? This model stands out with its excellent detailing and historical accuracy, making it attractive both for military collectors and modelers looking for an interesting project in the accessible 1/72 scale.
