Skill 3 Model Kit

AMT 1196 is a 1/24 scale plastic model kit of a 40 foot container trailer. The kit features parts moulded in white, black and silver plus ten hollow black vinyl tyres with detailed wheels. Black vinyl tyres and detailed landing gear add realism. Paint and cement are required to complete the model.

Experienced Modellers Seeking Detail

This kit suits builders comfortable with Skill 3 complexity who want an accurate trailer for display or diorama work. The long chassis supports a 40 foot container and includes top quality water slide decals. Vintage style packaging appeals to collectors. A truck tractor is not included so a separate prime mover is needed for a complete rig.

Truck Tractor Not Included

The single specification that decides fit is the absence of a tractor unit in the box. Buyers who want a ready to roll articulated lorry must source a compatible 1/24 scale prime mover separately. Those happy to build the trailer alone or pair it with an existing tractor will find the kit complete.

Questions about this item

How much noise or heat does the AMT 1196 model kit generate while I am building it over several days?

As a static plastic model kit with no motor, electronics or moving parts, it produces no noise, heat or power draw at any stage of assembly or display.

Which tools and consumables must I already have before starting the 1/24 scale 40' container trailer kit?

You will need plastic cement, modelling paint, brushes or an airbrush, a hobby knife, sandpaper or files, and tweezers; none of these are supplied in the box.

Can I display the finished trailer alongside my older 1/24 scale truck tractors without modification?

Yes, the long chassis is designed to accept a standard 40-foot container and the kit includes ten hollow black vinyl tires with detailed wheels, so it matches the scale and visual style of existing 1/24 tractors.
