Trumpeter 02512 - 1/25 1965 Ranchero Classic Pickup Model Kit  [TP02512]

Close inspection of the 1/25 1965 Ranchero kit

The Ranchero of 1965 blends sedan style with pickup capability, and Trumpeter 02512 captures that crossover in tidy 1/25 scale. This kit is aimed at model builders who appreciate period detail and want a display piece reflecting the original vehicle's silhouette.

Period significance

When launched, the Ranchero offered a practical yet stylish option for owners needing cargo space without a full truck. The 1965 iteration is recognised for its clean lines, and this kit reflects those cues with a focus on authentic body shapes.

Assembly highlights

Constructing the model calls for patience and accurate fitting. Parts come well defined and need careful clean up and adhesive. Painters will find the kit responds well to primer and lacquer finishes once prepped properly.
