Valutazione

Scale model con good detail. Vehicle length e wheelbase are scaled correctly, but the cargo body is 1 mm wider than it should be. This may explain why the canvas cover does not fit well.
Easy to assemble, only 49 parts. The cargo truck can be put together in approximately 30 minutes, especially if several veicoli are built in assembly line fashion.
The canvas cab cover is realistically textured e creased.
The assembly instructions are clearly illustrated, ed easy to follow.

The chassis is slightly warped, giving the vehicle a noticeable hump behind the cab. The damage may be corrected by heating the chassis prudentamente with a blow-dryer, e bending it into the correct shape.
The metal axles are too long, they need to be cut back slightly to ensure proper wheel alignment.
Rivet heads on the body are larger than scale.
The tow hooks on the front bumper are slightly oversized.
The canvas cover of the cargo body is too tight-fitting, e the thickness is obviously not to scale. This canvas cover is perfectly smooth, unlike the cab cover which is beautifully textured.
Flash inside the door cut-outs needs to be removed prima di dipingere.
The suggested registration number 665137 is incorrect. Trucks light-heavy, e heavy-heavy had registration numbers starting con "4", followed by the consecutive number identifying a particular vehicle of that type. Fortunately, an alternative registration number 4456136 is provided with the decalcomanie.

The Hasegawa model is a good choice for giocatori wargame who need easy to assemble e robust transport veicoli. Discerning modellers will want to put additional detailing work into the model, adding rearview mirrors, windshield wipers, ed other small parts which are not included in the kit.
