Compared to larger 1/24 or 1/18 diecast models, this 1/87 scale version is significantly smaller and more space-efficient, making it better suited for large collections or model layouts. Unlike detailed diecast models with opening parts, this plastic model does not feature movable components, positioning it as a display-focused piece rather than an interactive one. It offers a cost-effective alternative to high-end diecast trucks while maintaining official branding and visual accuracy.
