The UGM-11 Truck with Tanker

The four-cylinder engine is powered by a crankshaft which derives its power from a fully functional drive shaft turned by a rubber band motor and gear system.

The UGM-11 Truck has three operating modes: forward, reverse, and stop, all controlled by a gearshift lever on the side. When this lever is in the stop position, you can start the 4-cylinder engine and observe the four pistons moving under the hood. You can also look through the cab door and see the fully functional steering wheel connected to the front wheels via a steering column. You'll also see the suspension, made entirely of wood, by pressing on the front of the truck.

The rubber band motor is of the serpentine type with a lever mechanism on top of the cab. The accelerator (gas) pedal increases the engine speed when pressed, greatly enhancing the realistic appearance of this construction kit.

The Tank features a unique opening mechanism. It's designed to hold a standard 0.33L can. Turn the "cap" on the tank and it will open in a surprising way. The tank has an open and aggressive look that even the casual observer will appreciate.
