Maisto International DuraStar Flatbed Truck & 1988 Ford Mustang LX Light Green Metallic 1/64 Diecast Set #17

Elite Transport Diecast Set

This 1/64 scale set pairs an International DuraStar flatbed truck with a 1988 Ford Mustang LX in light green metallic. Both models carry the number 17 and feature detailed interiors, exteriors and real rubber tires. The officially licensed replicas arrive in a brand new blister pack inside the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. They are made of diecast metal with some plastic parts and have no opening features.

Scale and Display Constraints

The 1/64 ratio fixes each model at a small footprint: the Mustang measures approximately 2.75 inches long while the flatbed truck reaches about 6 inches long. These dimensions suit shelf display or diorama use but limit handling by younger children. The sealed blister pack protects the paint and graphics yet prevents physical interaction with the models once opened. Collectors seeking opening doors, hoods or removable loads will not find them here.

Simple Shelf Placement

Installation amounts to removing the models from the blister pack and positioning them on a flat surface. No assembly, tools or batteries are required because the trucks are single-piece castings with fixed wheels. The most common issue is paint rub on raised edges where the plastic blister contacts the body during transit. A secondary concern is the thin front axle on the Mustang, which can bend if pressure is applied while extracting the model from the pack.
