Inspecting the Tamiya 32585 1/48 German 3-Ton Truck kit

The Tamiya 1/48 German 3-ton truck model recreates a widely used WWII transport vehicle. Historically the truck moved personnel, fuel and ammunition and featured a rear-mounted 6-cylinder petrol engine, reaching approximately 85 km/h on roads and 35 km/h cross-country. Around 78,000 units were produced by July 1944, highlighting its common role in field operations.

Build highlights and parts layout

This kit is great for hobbyists who like tidy construction and authentic detail. It includes a ladder frame chassis, a detailed cab interior and selectable headlight fittings for open or covered looks. Barrels and jerry cans are supplied to help you stage realistic cargo layouts.

Suitability for collectors and scenes

Two marking options let you represent different campaign theatres, and the driver figure adds dynamism to dioramas. The compact scale makes it straightforward to place in mixed vehicle scenes or solo display cases.
