Tamiya 57752 Midnight Pumpkin XB Mid. 1/12 finished R/C pickup  [57752]

Tamiya 57752 Midnight Pumpkin XB Mid. Metallic Special - finished 1/12 pickup with retro proportions

Platform and finishing that define the XB Mid. delivery

The 57752 Midnight Pumpkin arrives as a factory-finished entry in the XB Mid. lineup, presented as a 1/12 scale ready-to-run pickup. The package emphasizes a finished aesthetic: a black-metallic PS injection body with vacuum-plated parts and silver-plated wheels that shift the model toward display-friendly presentation while retaining functional underpinnings typical of this class.

Design and mechanical layout

Under the finished shell the model uses an ABS box-type frame and a combination suspension approach with an independent swing axle at the front and a rolling rigid arrangement at the rear. The layout preserves the original Midnight Pumpkin character—short, upright cab and pronounced fenders—while integrating components sized for straightforward service, such as a 540-type motor and a gear train specified at 14.7:1.

Intended audience and use

This Metallic Special sits between display piece and runnable model. Its finished exterior and plated detailing make it immediately appealing to collectors who value period styling, while the included drive components and wheelie bar mean hobbyists can run and demonstrate the truck without a full build process. It is presented as a completed, ready-to-run item rather than an assembly kit.

The 57752 Midnight Pumpkin XB Mid. Metallic Special is a finished 1/12 pickup that balances visual presence with run-ready hardware. It fits collectors seeking a display-ready piece and hobbyists who prefer a turnkey model with authentic mid-century pickup character.
