Italeri 3902 BERLIET R352ch RENAULT R360 (1:24) – Plastic Truck Model Kit

Italeri 3902 BERLIET R352ch RENAULT R360 is an incredibly attractive plastic model kit in the popular 1:24 scale, representing the legendary French truck from the late 1970s and early 1980s. This model faithfully reproduces a vehicle that was widely used not only in the French market but throughout Western Europe, serving as one of the most important links in long-distance transport of the era.

The BERLIET R352ch vehicle, later known as the RENAULT R360 after Renault acquired the Berliet brand in 1978, was noted for its reliability and versatility. The R360 version, equipped with a 6-cylinder engine producing 360 HP, was produced and mainly used between 1977–1989, standing as a symbol of post-war French engineering during the Cold War period. These tractor-trailers were spotted in TIR convoys, container transport, and also under tough Alpine conditions where power and durability were essential.
