The
Iveco TurboStar was built mainly in Italy between 1984
and 1993.
This model is made of resin, and is a limited edition of
only 60 models. It is made in 1:43 scale at the
request of Iveco.
Packaging
The model comes in a colourful box which encloses a
Perspex display case. There is some shipping
packaging which needs to be removed.
The review model had no defects or missing parts.
There is no information about the real truck.
Detail
There is some detail underneath but the appearance is
spoiled by a large spacer block which appears to be
glued on. There is limited front axle detail, and
the rear axle is rather better. The wheels are
detailed and the tyres have some feint branding.
The colour finish on the cab is very good and has a
metallic sheen. The large roof faring looks good.
The front grille has some nice graphics.
There are air horns on the side of the cab and the
graphics give a smart appearance. There very feint
Iveco graphics above the cab steps.
Behind the cab the moulding looks good, and there is a
textured plate at the bottom.
The fifth wheel has a hole and the rear lights have
lenses.
Features
The model can be detached from the base however a spacer
block appears to be glued on.
The wheels rotate and the model can be rolled.
Quality
This is a reasonable quality resin model.
The colour and graphics are mostly very good.
Price
It is a very limited edition but is relatively
expensive.
Overall
This is a good looking model of a historic Iveco.
It is a very limited edition and is expensive as a
result.
