Wow, never seen a kit of a three wheeled truck before. I remember seeing loads of small vans like this the first time I went to Italy. Kudos to miniart for this one. Trouble is they will now release about twenty variations and liveries :worried:

Yep, we just had a very nice build of the Airfix Bond bug on here….no trucks though ….

[Mini Me]

These were very popular with the Wehrmacht during the war........yes to many variants as well.....the van bodied ones were even used as ambulances. Mini Art could very likely have looked at all those possibilities for future releases.......very interesting little trucks. :thinking: Rick H.

Common all over Asia, modern versions, known as Tuk Tuks - really a motorised rickshaw ( trishaw? )

A Thai variant...................................

Common all over the UK... the Invacar!


1948 - 2003, not a bad service, government owned vehicles and spare parts were scrapped due to the motability programme and the obvious safety concerns... :rolling:

P. S. I remember seeing loads of these in Dorchester in the 70s! Must of been a lot of disabled people back then?!

I remember them well. When I was a lad there was a guy had one and used to park in Salisbury market on Saturdays. I showed interest in it one day and he let me have a look around. They were a good design for their day, but were never updated as traffic conditions changed….
