In addition to the Hucks aircraft starter truck, Hasegawa released an Isuzu Type 97 truck in a fuel tanker configuration. In all, I think there were twenty-one different versions of this truck in service. I wanted to have a couple of the cargo versions, so I converted some with a standard bed in both hardtop and canvas cab versions.

I heartily agree! The fuel truck was rebuilt and repaired from the remains of one I had originally built in the 1970s. The trucks give scale to the aircraft.

It was built up from Evergreen sheet. The shape is pretty straightforward and it goes together quicker than you’d think.
