[The Model Car] From the “The Model Car” series that reproduces Japan’s iconic and popular vehicles in plastic model form, the Subaru Sambar Fire Truck, active on the front lines of firefighting in Japan, is now available in 3D!

Often overlooked in everyday life, yet always the first to arrive when needed — that’s the dependable Subaru TT2 Sambar Fire Truck. This behind-the-scenes hero has been faithfully recreated in 1/24 scale with incredible detail. While blending into city corners or mountain roads, its presence still stands out. This model fully captures the charm of the Sambar in a highly refined kit.
The most notable feature is its meticulous detailing. The Fuji Robin-made fire pump is faithfully reproduced, along with a wide variety of firefighting tools such as a pointed shovel, foldable ladder, crowbar, pickaxe, and hose pack — all finely sculpted. Each item is removable, allowing for imaginative arrangement and display. The structure of the rear seats and hose storage compartment, as well as features like the searchlight and rotating warning light, are all realistically modeled, giving you a deeper appreciation of the vehicle’s functional beauty as you assemble it.
This model allows you to choose between the mid- and late-version front panels, enabling customization to your preference. For fans familiar with the vehicle’s minor updates, this is an irresistible feature and a fun way to explore its historical changes. It also comes with masking seals for the window frames, minimizing painting stress and significantly improving the finish quality.
Another appeal of the Sambar Fire Truck lies in its engineering. With an RR layout and 4WD, it boasts agility unthinkable for a kei truck, allowing it to easily navigate narrow city alleys or unpaved mountain paths. The model captures this design philosophy by replicating the EN07 engine in detail, sure to impress car enthusiasts. The dedicated 12-inch tires are also faithfully reproduced, adding visual and mechanical authenticity from top to bottom.
