This is a scale model kit to be assembled by an adult; it includes all the parts as indicated but it does not include glue or paints, which can also be purchased separately at SpotModel!.
Resin kit to reproduce the Tucker 48 or Tucker Torpedo, one of the most exclusive American cars, not only because only 51 units were made, many of which are currently in perfect condition, but because a helicopter engine was used as mechanics. A kit developed with great attention to detail, with several finishing options depending on the version we want to assemble.

Additional details for the Tucker 48 scale model kit:
  • Manufactured by Red Wheel in 1/25 scale with reference RW25001.
  • Includes 3D printed parts, photo-etched parts, resin parts, water slide decals, other materials and placement instructions.
  • Package measures 155 mm x 260 mm x 64 mm (width x depth x height), weighting 426 g.
  • Featured in newsletters 614 and 636.

The bankruptcy of the Tucker Corporation in March 1949 puts an end to one of the most exciting experiences in the history of the American automobile. Preston Tucker built extraordinary cars for two years. The 6-cylinder boxer helicopter engine with a displacement of 5,500 cc made the Tucker 48, better known as the Torpedo, the fastest saloon in the United States, with a maximum speed of 220 km/h. A vehicle that, thanks to its reinforced cabin, was at the same time very safe. But the project failed due to economic difficulties, with only 51 units being manufactured.

SpotModel recommends this product exclusively for experienced professional modellers and collectors. Take appropriate precautions as this product is not a toy, it can be toxic and/or dangerous. Keep away from children. Use is not allowed for children under 14 years.
