Trucks are not only the backbone of logistics, but they are also extremely fascinating. The technology of the various designs and the size of these vehicles make them true highlights for tech enthusiasts. For model builders, they are rewarding subjects for replication, which can be equipped with nearly unlimited special features or transformed into real masterpieces with lighting and sound effects. In this book, Alexander Kalcher showcases the entire diversity of truck modeling. Starting with different kits, the author first demonstrates how to build "out of the box" – that is, a model according to the assembly instructions. He addresses special features and provides tips on how to enhance a kit with just a few resources. This is followed by detailed improvements, embellishments, and adjustments to personal taste, resulting in models that are absolutely unique. The many insights into technical backgrounds, whether it be mechanics, electronics, or remote control technology, are particularly helpful for beginners, making their first steps into this fascinating hobby easier. Infographics also explain more complex topics in an easily understandable way, and a wealth of illustrations complements the text.
