AMT AMT1478 1/25 Scale Fruehauf FB Beaded Panel Van Trailer Model Kit 142 Parts 19 Inches

1/25 Scale Fruehauf FB Beaded Panel Van Trailer Kit

This AMT model kit reproduces the classic Fruehauf FB beaded panel van trailer in 1/25 scale using 142 detailed plastic parts. The finished assembly measures over 19 inches long and features corrugated aluminum side panels, a detailed undercarriage, and an authentically detailed F-2 tandem suspension with movable select-a-point sliding tandem. Chrome-plated small parts, black vinyl tires, metal axles, and eight hollow vinyl tires add realism, while doors swing open to reveal a fully detailed interior floor and body panels.

For Experienced Modelers Building Big Rig

This Skill Level 3 kit is intended for experienced modelers who have the tools, patience, and technique to assemble, paint, and cement a complex trailer model. It pairs directly with 1/25 scale AMT semi truck tractor kits for a complete big rig display, and the 2-position support assembly allows the finished model to be shown either raised and ready to roll or lowered for static display. Builders looking for a simpler snap-together kit, a smaller scale, or a model that does not require painting and glue should consider other options.

Check Your Workspace and Supplies Before Ordering

You will need modelling cement and paint in appropriate colours to complete this kit, as neither is included in the box. Ensure you have a well-lit, ventilated work area large enough for a model over 19 inches long, plus storage for the 142 parts during the multi-session build. Verify that your existing 1/25 scale tractor collection uses the same scale so the trailer couples correctly, and confirm you are comfortable assembling detailed suspension components, movable tandem sliders, and swing-open doors.
