Heritage Pickup Restored: Tamiya 58070 Midnight Pumpkin

The Tamiya 58070 - 1/12 Midnight Pumpkin 2WD captures the charm of a 1953 Ford F-100 in a compact CW-01 platform. The ABS bodywork and beefy rubber tyres make it a solid option for those who enjoy both display and light off-road running.

Retro Looks with Practical Build

The body faithfully reproduces vintage truck lines while remaining easy to finish and paint. Durable plastics and patterned tyres give the model a rugged presence without adding complexity to routine maintenance and repairs.

Simple, Effective Mechanics

Under the shell, the 2WD RWD layout combines a rear solid axle with a front swing axle to keep handling predictable. Friction type dampers and a gear differential provide a forgiving ride, and the kit is set up for a mechanical ESC with a 540-brushed motor for reliable, serviceable performance.

Tamiya 58070 Midnight Pumpkin suits builders who value period styling combined with tidy, low fuss running gear. It is a good base for cosmetic customising or modest performance upgrades.

Assembly can take a few evenings for a careful builder; painting and finishing the body may add extra time depending on detail level.
The kit includes chevron-patterned rubber tyres. You can fit alternative tyres if the wheel fitment matches the stock rims.
Basic modelling tools like cutters, screwdrivers and paint brushes cover most of the work, plus a hobby knife for trimming parts from sprues.
