Italeri 3926 - 1/24 Iveco Turbostar 190.48 Special Model Kit - Period Haulage Replica  [IT-3926S]

Kit introduction and context

The Italeri 1/24 rendition of the Iveco Turbostar 190.48 Special brings a slice of late 1980s European haulage to the workbench. The model reflects the functional styling of the two-axle road tractor, offering a compact but authentic subject for collectors and hobby modellers.

Technical background of the Turbostar

Historically, the Iveco Turbostar 190.48 was fitted with a high output power unit in the 480 HP bracket, making it a strong performer on long-distance routes. Its chassis allowed many body types, with the canvas deck frequently seen in period operations. The model captures these defining features at scale.

Suitability for collectors and modellers

As a modelling project, the kit supports detailed finishing work including decals, weathering and interior touches. It is well suited to display in collections focused on commercial vehicles or as part of a roadside vignette evoking the era.
