Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


First we see separately casted rear bed parts as well as fuel tanks and some parts for the interior. Overall quality looks great.


Front section comes as single-piece part. It means that you won't be able to open anything, but it also gives you the right alignment out of the box.


We won't get the engine, but interior should look nice. It might be a good idea to play with weathering in this area.


Resin wheels look nice out of the box and should be easy to install. There are no painting masks, so be sure to have the circular template.


Next we see 3D-printed parts. On the photo above I hold the main chassis. Yes, it is designed as single-piece part, and you shouldn't think about combining separate bars together.


Another interesting part - rear section with tarpauline cover. This element comes as one-piece part, so you just need to separate it off the support. I like the protecting "cage" as this is important for preserving part intact.


The same can be seen for the front cab roof and rear wall. Such design will definitely speed up the assembly process.


All other parts are supplied as PE elements. Those unpainted PE parts will help you copy a lot of things, even the windshield, after combining with clear film. Decals are printed in nice quality. Assembly manual is typical for this brand, and I show all pages in the video-review.


New truck set should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is an interesting subject to build in small scale. Moreover, it was interesting to see how 3D printing was used in this release. In my opinion those parts will be easier to install and they should look quite nice on the finished vehicle. Of course, this is more of kit for advanced modelers, so if you don't have experience with such multimedia sets, it is better to train a bit before going for the project. :)
