Review: Good item - Great Review: Good model - I messed up when I ordered this product. I thought it was 1:35 but it ended up being 1:48. I purchased several models on the same day and got confused. It would have been great if the seller had mentioned the scale inbthe title. I decided to keep it and built it and I have to say, it made me realized how much I was missing up by not using 1:48. The details are great, some pieces are indeed delicate but overall I had a great time. I am gonna start a 1:48 collection. ## Features - 1:48 Scale kit, Driver figure and 2 marking options, Decals, Paint, Tools, Glue are not included with kit - Paint suggested: German Gray, Green, Orange, Red, Chrome silver, Semi-Gloss black, Flat White, Flesh, Metallic Gray, Red Brown, Field Gray, Rubber Black - Tools: sprue cutter, long nose pliers, small files, pin vise & scissors, Side cutters, Tweezers, Modeling knife, Glue, Super Glue ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Y7W1KA6 | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (122) | | Date First Available | June 26, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.01 ounces | | Item model number | TM32585 | | Manufacturer | MMD Holdings, LLC | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 4.94 x 1.74 x 2.07 inches | ## Images ![Tamiya Models German 3 Ton 4x2 Cargo Truck Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61r9o719t-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good item *by D***D on October 7, 2025* Great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good model *by C***L on May 26, 2022* I messed up when I ordered this product.
