Seen in towns, cities and highways across the country, the big U.S. Wrecker and recovery trucks dot the landscape. These breakdown vehicles are true mobile workshops. Numerous compartments on the flanks of the trucks contain, all the tools and materials needed for fast repair of damaged trucks, while the heavy duty towing gear at the rear of the vehicle allow trucks to be taken to the nearest full scale workshop when repairs can't be made roadside. Italeri has pulled out all stops with this big 1/24 scale Wrecker. Molded in white, red, black and grey plastic, with whole host of chrome parts, this kit is detail modelers dream come true. The interior of the cab is amazing and the engine compartment and complete drivetrain is nothing short of spectacular. Detailed rubber tires are mounted on finely detailed chrome wheels and chrome fuel tanks, exhausts, grill, horns and other trim parts are just... wow. But this is Wrecker and you'll marvel at the accuracy of the heavy duty towing crane at the rear. Detail, detail and more detail to excite the fastidious builder. You'll finish this beautiful model with comprehensive paint instructions and crisp, bright decals. Review: Great model - If you love building models, then this is a great one to add, especially if you like building semi-models. Review: Another excellent model by the Italeri company - They make excellent intricate models! And I especially love them molded in color parts. I would’ve been even happier with this one had the hydraulic pistons on the vehicle hoist than movable. You can either have this in the all up position or they all down position. ## Features - Almost 14 inches long - Magnificently produced suspension and engine bay - Beautifully detailed cab - Chrome - Exceptionally accurate and detailed heavy duty towing gear - skill level: advanced ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BMZ2XW | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (233) | | Date First Available | November 27, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.53 ounces | | Item model number | 553825 | | Manufacturer | Model Rectifier Corp. | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 13.58 x 4 x 6.5 inches | ## Images ![Italeri U.S. Wrecker Truck - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AuxO9gi-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it an rc truck?** A: It is not an RC. **Q: is it a toy? can tow toy cars? it is for a 8 years old kid, so I need to know if it works as a toy** A: Hello Monica, No. This is not a toy.
