Tamiya 1/48 US Modern 4x4 Cargo - Compact Cargo Variant

The Tamiya 1/48 US Modern 4x4 Utility Vehicle - Cargo Type is a finely scaled kit that recreates the versatile US utility truck used from the late 1970s onward. Its operational history includes notable deployments such as Panama in 1989 and the Gulf War in 1991, reflecting its widespread service use.

Origins and Real Vehicle Traits

The prototype was chosen for its light construction and strong off-road ability. It featured a 150hp V8 diesel engine, independent suspension on all four wheels and a 4WD drivetrain to handle rough ground. The Cargo Type provided a roomy rear deck able to carry roughly 1,100kg or up to eight soldiers.

What the Kit Offers

Tamiya captures authentic details at 1/48 scale, including interior fittings, a choice of open or closed doors and the option to show the rear canvas cover. The set includes a driver figure in camouflage and three decal schemes to finish your model historically or with a custom look.

Yes, assembling the model without the canvas or with the cover open reveals the recreated interior and seating layout for display.
The kit supplies parts to model either configuration so you can pose doors open for dioramas or closed for a cleaner display profile.
While the kit is complete out of the box, modellers sometimes add fine detail items like photo-etch or custom decals suited to 1/48 scale to enhance realism.
