I need to clear some space on myshelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. I think the Italeri lineof trucks is the best in the business. From the couple that I have built, theygo together very well and have excellent detail. I have over a dozen differentsubjects, but some are duplicates. These will go first. This tanker trailer is somethingthat will make any truck look good. The eye-catching images and massive size (44cmor 17.3” long) will draw plenty of attention to your big rig.
The italeri.com site has their usual photos of allthe parts and pieces, including a large sheet of Chromed Stickers (rows of cowsfor the sides) and a set of colorful decals, highlighted by the south end of anorth-bound cow (for the rear of the tank, of course). They also include thefollowing facts about the trailer itself:
Heavy tanktrailers are very common in Europe for transporting all means of liquid goodsfrom milk to various fuels and chemicals. Most of the modern trailers have a3-axle single-wheel chassis, and can load up to 40,000 litres. These trailersare equipped with advanced brake systems and other safety features such as sideimpact barriers.
Scalemates.com shows that this kit is a 2015 reboxingof a previous release, but doesn’t specify the original kit. I know the ClassicTanker Trailer (ITL 3886) was released in 2013, but it is also listed as arebox with no reference to the source kit. Aside from the photo of the box,there is very little else here to help with your build.
This kit is in a large, sturdy box about17” x 11” x 4”. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and stillsealed with two large tape discs, so it is factory sealed andabsolutely gift-ready.

Those familiar with my listings can tell that I reallyenjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than justthe bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more aboutthe subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started outpicking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building themwhen I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I canbuild, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder).
As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost alwayssealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open themwhen I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available tomy fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there areprobably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists thanbuying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, mygoal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item infactory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
