Aoshima announced the second entry in its 1/32 scale The☆Truck plastic model series: the Hino HE Trailer. The kit includes a large trailer head, a 40-foot shipping container, and a container chassis. It is scheduled for release in December 2026 for 14,300 yen.
The Hino HE Trailer is the second release in Aoshima's The☆Truck series, following the first entry. The 1/32 scale kit reproduces the Hino HE High Cab late model, a tractor-trailer combination that dominated Japanese highways in the 1970s. It includes an HE-specific chassis, a 40-foot shipping container, and a container chassis. The kit also features parts for the EF700 type V8 engine, dual fuel tanks, and 20-inch vertical groove tires. Aoshima revised the molding colors so builders can assemble the model without painting and still achieve a color scheme close to the product images. The kit is priced at 14,300 yen and is scheduled for release in December 2026.
