The Ugears Truck Heavy Boy VM-03 model kit from Ugears is indeed a "heavy boy": It is a faithful replica of a real US truck with cab, which in real life weighs several tons. The much smaller model is a mere flyweight in comparison, but still makes an impressive appearance on the collector's shelf.

Detailed replica of a real truck made by Ugears

The model, which consists of 541 individual parts, was designed with great attention to detail and therefore also features almost all the striking equipment elements of a real truck: for example, there are two mirrors on the sides of the cab and you can discover two exhaust pipes on the back of the vehicle.

Of course, the two doors of the driver's cab can be opened and a small ladder has even been mounted on it to make it easier for the driver to get into the cab. The built-in coupling system, which connects the tractor unit to the attached trailer, is also definitely worth a look.

The Heavy Boy Truck VM03 also features a few other lovely details, such as a cozy sleeping area for the driver (including a built-in TV) and a shovel attached to the rear of the truck.

Mechanical rubber band motor sets the truck in motion

The Ugears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03 is not a wooden model in the classic sense: the imposing truck is equipped with a mechanical interior that provides additional fun after assembly.

This is a rubber band motor that serves to wind up the truck without any external power sources and offers three modes: Forward, reverse and idle. One winding is enough to make the truck travel an impressive five meters - you can even determine the direction of travel with the help of the movable steering wheel.

When idling, on the other hand, you can watch the sophisticated movement devices at work without the truck actually starting to move.

Precise individual parts made from sustainably grown wood

Like all wooden models from Ugears, the Heavy Boy Truck is made from high-quality plywood, which consists of sustainably grown wood from the forests of Europe.

Thanks to a special laser process, all the individual parts are cut out precisely so that they fit together perfectly when assembled.

Incidentally, no separate tools or glue are required here, making the kit ideal for inexperienced beginners in model building.
