Tonkin Replicas started manufacturing replica model trucks with the incredibly successful 1:53 scale, Signature Series. It was determined that the 1:53 scale size was the perfect scale to produce a very collectible model with the level of detail that Tonkin Replicas required. The 1:53 scale has since become know as the ‘Tonkin Scale’ and is still our preferred scale to model.
Tonkin Replicas has created a museum quality model with their Precision Line. The cab alone is crafted from 141 individual parts! (The industry average is less than 40). Each truck is certified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engineers to ensure accurate detail and premium quality. The hood opens to show detailed engine complete with radiator, hoses, and air filter. The doors open and the wheels turn. The steering wheel moves, the side panel opens for access to battery box, and the 5th wheel moves. The model features miniature suspension system, authentic tire treads with traction grooves and stripes and the fairing removes to show off the highly detailed interior.
