When the Ford SVT F-150 Lightning debuted at the 1998 Chicago Auto Show it set a new standard for performance pickups with its supercharged 5.4-litre V8. Tamiya has scaled that character down to a 1/10 assembly kit that gives modellers a realistic and rewarding build experience.
The polycarbonate body faithfully reproduces signature features like the front spoiler, broad wheel arches and tonneau cover. The kit includes window masks and grille decals so you can tidy up paintwork and keep a period-correct look straight from completion.
The TT-01E's bathtub frame places motor and battery low for improved stability, aided by a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers for added stiffness. Steering uses a 3-piece tie rod and the suspension is a 4-wheel double wishbone layout, while the differential gears and radial tyres balance traction and handling.
Tamiya 58481 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning is a solid choice for model builders who want an authentic road truck with a stable chassis and straightforward assembly.
