Film history in 1:87 scale

The prototype for this model became famous worldwide thanks to the 1971 film “Duel”—Steven Spielberg’s first major work. The film depicts a harrowing road duel between an unsuspecting driver and a menacing tanker truck, whose driver is never seen.

The film is considered a milestone in the road movie genre. Originally produced as a television movie with a runtime of about 60 minutes, it was later expanded for theatrical release and went on to become a major international success.

The tanker truck featured in the film became one of the most iconic vehicles in film history thanks to its rusty, menacing appearance.

Legendary U.S. Truck: Peterbilt 281

Peterbilt is one of the most traditional manufacturers of American trucks. The brand became known for innovative ideas in commercial vehicle construction, including aluminum structures, sleeper cabs, and fold-down cabs.

Even today, Peterbilt is considered one of the most modern and innovative truck manufacturers in the world. Vehicles from this brand can be seen not only in the transportation industry but also in many well-known movies such as “The Terminator,” “Transformers,” and “Convoy.”
