The tools you need to build model trucks will depend on the skill level of the kit you purchase. Some beginner models will require only a knife and a file for completion, while more complex kits need specific tools. You will need a sharp knife, a small file, plastic cement or glue, and paint for intermediate and expert-level models. In my Ultimate Guide to Model Tools and Supplies, you'll find a complete list of the basics needed and some additional gear to consider as well. Be sure to check the instructions on your model for any required tools you may need for assembly.
