Model Truck question from an armor guy
Posted by paradox01 on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 6:16 PM

Hello all,

First post in this forum and hoping I can find some help. My brother in law is trying to build a model truck (peterbilt,mack,etc..). I believe Revell makes truck kits, but that is the extent of my knowledge on the subject. Who else makes great model truck kits and where can I get accessories for the kits such as tires, rims, and other custom stuff. I assume there must be a ton of aftermarket stuff like there is for armor, but I could be wrong. I am completely lost and any and all information will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Revell Germany, Italeri, Heller and AMT/Ertl all make 1/24 or 1/25 scale trucks. Testors has a series of 1/28 scale trucks I see occasionally. There are also a handful of 1/32 scale trucks by various manufacturers but there are not that many currently.

 

For aftermarket I like

I haven't bought anything here but they do have some truck stuff
