About product

1:72 Diamond T 972 Dumptruck Softcab, a kit from IBG models

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from the Polish brand IBG models. The real subject is the American Diamond T 972 heavy truck with a dump body in the standard with an open cab.

The real subject

The Diamond T 972 belonged to a family of heavy military trucks with all-wheel drive, made up of the 968 cargo version, the 969 wrecker and this 972 dump truck. The vehicles served mainly with engineer and construction units: they carried gravel, sand and building material during the construction of airfields, roads and field installations. The designation Softcab belongs to the standard with an open cab and a canvas roof, which replaced the original closed all-metal cab in the course of production. It is exactly the open cab that is the most striking distinguishing feature on a model.

Building and painting tips

The small all-wheel-drive chassis has many tiny parts, so it pays to clean and glue them in small groups and to let each stage cure. The open cab makes the interior visible, so it pays to paint the seats and the instrument panel before you close the cab up. The canvas parts look better with matte varnish and a gentle picking out of the folds. At the end add dust and mud on the wheels, the fenders and the lower part of the body, and chipping in the places where the crew climbed in and where the load was poured out.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American Allied machines in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who build engineer and supply columns
  • Builders of dioramas with construction and rear-area scenes
  • Those interested in the whole family of Diamond T vehicles

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is the standard with an open cab and a canvas roof, which replaced the original closed all-metal cab in the course of production.

The 972 dump truck carries a tipping body for material, while the 968 cargo version has a classic truck bed. The chassis is common to both vehicles.

Yes, an engineer dump truck suits construction and rear-area scenes. In 1:72 scale it takes up little room in a display case.
