Best Scale Model Truck Accessories for 1/24 Scale Trucks

Building a 1/24 scale model truck is one of the most rewarding hobbies in the modelling world — and the right accessories are what separate a good build from a truly great one. Whether you're a seasoned modeller or just getting started, this guide covers the best scale model truck accessories available in Australia and New Zealand, with a focus on 1/24 and 1/25 scale builds.

Why 1/24 Scale?

The 1/24 and 1/25 scales are the sweet spot for truck modelling. They're large enough to show off incredible detail, but still manageable to build and display. Major kit manufacturers like Revell, AMT, and Italeri produce most of their truck kits in these scales, making it easy to find the right accessories to complement your build.

Tail Lights

Tail lights are one of the most impactful accessories you can add to a scale model truck. The right set instantly adds realism and makes your build look finished and professional.

Classic Tail Lights

For vintage and traditional Australian truck builds, the Classic Tail Lights – Scale Model Trucks are a must-have. They replicate the look of the iconic round and rectangular tail lights found on classic Kenworths, Whites, and other legendary rigs. The Classic Combination Tail Lights add tail, brake, and indicator functions in a single unit for a cleaner, more authentic look.

JUMBO LED Tail Lights

For modern Australian road train and B-double builds, the JUMBO LED Tail Lights deliver that big, bold LED cluster look you see on contemporary heavy vehicles. Pair them with the JUMBO LED Combination Tail Lights, JUMBO LED Park Brake Lights, and the JUMBO LED Trailer Lights Pack for a complete, show-ready lighting setup.

1/50 Scale Options

Building in 1/50 scale? We also stock the Combination Tail Lights 1/50 Scale Model Truck and the Hella Replica Tail Lights 1/50 Scale Model Truck for smaller-scale builds.

Mud Flaps

No Australian truck build is complete without mud flaps. We stock a wide range of brand-specific options for the most popular truck marques:

Keychains & Magnets

Beyond the build itself, our range of truck-themed keychains and magnets are perfect for collectors, gifts, or showing off your passion for Australian trucking culture.

These make fantastic gifts for truck enthusiasts and modellers alike — especially the limited edition options.

Tips for Building the Ultimate 1/24 Scale Truck

  • Start with the lighting: Tail lights and trailer lights are easiest to fit before the body is fully assembled. Plan your lighting early in the build.
  • Layer your details: Add mud flaps, lights, and other accessories in stages. Rushing the detail work is the most common mistake in truck modelling.
  • Reference real trucks: Australian road trains and prime movers are incredibly detailed. Use photos of real trucks as reference — you'll be amazed at how many small details you'd otherwise miss.
  • Weather your accessories: A light wash of brown or grey on mud flaps and a subtle dust effect on tail light housings adds realism and depth.
  • Display with pride: A well-built 1/24 scale truck with quality accessories is a genuine showpiece. Consider a display case to protect your work.
