The Best Truck Model Kits for 2026

Whether you're a seasoned builder or just getting into the hobby, truck model kits offer some of the most satisfying builds around. From massive big rigs and tanker trailers to classic American pickups, there's a truck kit for every skill level and interest. Here's our roundup of the best truck model kits for 2026 — all available and ready to ship from Shore Line Hobby.

Best Big Rigs & Semi Trucks

If you love the open road and the thunder of a diesel engine, our Trucks & Trailers collection is where you want to start. These kits capture the scale and presence of full-size 18-wheelers in stunning 1/25 scale detail.

Moebius Models 1/25 2010 International Lonestar

The International Lonestar is one of the most distinctive-looking semi trucks on the road, and Moebius nails it in 1/25 scale. Detailed cab interior, chrome trim, and a commanding presence on the shelf make this a standout build for experienced modelers.

Moebius Models 1/25 International Pro Star Truck Cab

A modern workhorse captured in precise detail. The Pro Star kit features a fully detailed cab and is a great companion build alongside a trailer kit. Clean lines, great fit, and very buildable.

AMT 1/25 Fruehauf Sunoco Tanker Trailer

No big rig is complete without something to haul. The Fruehauf Sunoco Tanker is a feature-packed trailer kit with 180 parts, chrome-plated manhole covers, outlet piping, gate valves, running lights, and authentic Sunoco waterslide decals. Finished length is an impressive 18 inches.

Best Pickup Trucks

Classic American pickups are perennial favorites in the hobby — and for good reason. Check out our full Pickups & Vans collection for the complete lineup. Here are the top sellers:

Moebius Models 1/25 1972 Ford F-350 Wrecker 4x4

Our best-selling truck kit of the past year — and it's easy to see why. The F-350 Wrecker combines the rugged appeal of a 4x4 with the working-truck character of a tow rig. Highly detailed, great parts breakdown, and a joy to build. A must-have for Ford fans.

Moebius Models 1/25 1971 Ford F-250 Custom 4x4

Another Moebius classic. The F-250 Custom 4x4 captures the boxy, tough look of early '70s Ford trucks perfectly. Great detail throughout and a satisfying build from start to finish.

Moebius Models 1/25 1970 Ford F-350 Ramp Truck

A unique subject that doubles as a display platform — build the ramp truck and load it up with one of your car kits for a killer diorama setup. One of the most creative builds in our truck lineup.

Revell 1/25 1965 Chevrolet Stepside Pickup

A timeless classic. The '65 Chevy Stepside is one of the most iconic American pickups ever built, and Revell's kit captures every curve and chrome detail. A great build for modelers of all skill levels.

Revell 1/25 1979 GMC Wrecker "Captain Hook"

A fan favorite with a great nickname to match. The Captain Hook wrecker is a detailed, characterful build that looks fantastic on any shelf. A solid choice if you want something a little different from the standard pickup.

Most Unique Build of the Year

Revell 1/25 Stranger Things Jim Hopper's 1985 Chevy K5 Blazer

Not strictly a truck, but too good to leave off the list. Hopper's K5 Blazer from Stranger Things is a pop-culture icon and a genuinely fun build. If you're a fan of the show — or just love a beat-up, character-filled 4x4 — this one's for you.
