Why this kit matters

These trucks are known for their elaborate paintwork, chrome accents, and vibrant lighting, making them a unique part of Japanese automotive history.
Dekotora culture began in the 1970s and quickly became a symbol of creativity and pride among truck drivers. The Nidaime Dokuromaru stands out for its detailed customisation and has been featured in magazines and exhibitions, inspiring enthusiasts worldwide. Building this model lets you bring a piece of this colourful tradition into your own collection.
