Italeri Plastic Model Kit
Ford Transit “Italeri” Van (1/24)
This 1/24 scale Ford Transit “Italeri” Van from Italeri recreates one of Europe’s most recognisable light commercial vehicles, finished in a special Italeri-branded livery. Practical, versatile, and instantly familiar, the Transit became a cornerstone of European transport from the mid-20th century onward.
The kit builds to a finished length of approximately 18.5cm and features rubber tyres for enhanced realism. A unique highlight of this release is the inclusion of Italeri-branded cartons, allowing you to recreate a delivery vehicle carrying scale model kits, a nice self-referential touch that sets it apart from standard civilian van builds.

History
The Ford Transit line began in the 1950s, but it was the second-generation model introduced in 1965 that truly defined the Transit’s reputation. With a front-mounted engine, wide track, and low loading floor, it offered an ideal balance of practicality and efficiency for businesses of all sizes.
Available in numerous configurations including panel vans, chassis cabs, minibuses, and flatbeds, the Transit became a trusted partner for craftsmen, small companies, and large fleets across Europe. Its flexibility and durability cemented its place as one of the most successful light commercial vehicles ever produced.
This special Italeri edition adds a playful twist, representing the type of vehicle that might have delivered model kits to shops across Europe. It’s a light-hearted but historically grounded subject, perfect for adding variety to a collection dominated by military or performance vehicles.
