FSR TARPAN 1:43 KIT CARD

Tarpan 233 – 1:43 Scale 3D Printed Model Kit

The Tarpan 233 was a practical light utility vehicle produced in Poland from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Manufactured by Fabryka Samochodów Rolniczych in Poznań, the Tarpan was designed as a versatile vehicle for both agricultural and everyday use. With its simple mechanics, reliable engine, and durable construction, it became a symbol of rural mobility and Polish engineering ingenuity.

This 1:43 scale 3D printed model kit faithfully recreates the distinctive shape and utilitarian design of the original Tarpan 233. Intended for model enthusiasts seeking greater precision, this version requires glue for assembly, ensuring a more permanent and accurate build.

Each part is 3D printed in four distinct colors, providing a visually appealing look right out of the printer — no painting or advanced multi-material systems (such as AMS) are needed. Once assembled, the model highlights the truck’s recognizable front grille, detailed cabin, and open cargo area.

The car body is pre-supported, there is no need to add additional supports.
