Italeri 1/24 Australian Truck Western Star Plastic Model Kit

Australian outback truckers covering enormous distances on rugged and unsealed roads need to equip their rigs with special modifications.

They include a huge bull-bar (roo-bar), a sheet of wire mesh for windscreen protection, special dust filters, additional long range fuel tanks, heavy duty wheels, airconditioning and an array of different driving lights.

Bulk goods are normally transported in Road Trains, which can have up to 3 trailers with a total length of over 31 metres.
