Tamiya’s Heavy Dump Truck is Construction Equipment You Get to Construct

Tamiya definitely gets the award for “yellowest chassis” with this new release. The Heavy Dump Truck is a kit (yay!) and scales out to 1/24 because the full-size truck is so massive, but the GF-01 chassis is more what you would consider 1/12 scale based on its width and wheelbase (and if you get Tamiya’s […]
