Italeri 3687 - 1/24 Ford Transit Mk2 Classic Van Model Kit  [IT-3687S]

Italeri 1/24 Ford Transit Mk2 - Miniature of a Workhorse

The Ford Transit Mk2 played a key role in commercial transport history. Launched in 1978 as a joint effort between Ford Germany and Ford UK, the Mk2 answered growing European demand for a rugged, versatile van. Its straightforward engineering and practical layout made it a common sight on the roads and a popular subject for scale modelling.

This Italeri 1/24 scale kit recreates the Ford Transit Mk2 in miniature, giving builders a chance to study period design and details. The real vehicle was available with a 2.5-liter diesel engine producing 68 horsepower, a practical choice for its era. The model presents those familiar lines and proportions in a buildable form for hobbyists.

Why Model Builders Reach for This Kit

The Italeri Ford Transit Mk2 model offers precise moulding and clear assembly directions, making it a satisfying project for plastic kit fans. Glue is required for assembly, and careful painting lifts the kit into a display-quality piece. Finished models work well in dioramas or as stand-alone shelf displays, highlighting the Transit Mk2s utilitarian charm.
