Build a Realistic 1/24 Scale Rooftop Camping Tent

Rooftop tents have become increasingly popular among outdoor enthusiasts, off-road drivers, and overlanding travelers. Mounted above a vehicle, these camping shelters provide an elevated sleeping area while allowing the vehicle to serve as the foundation of a mobile campsite.

The Academy Rooftop Tent ACD15625 recreates this recognizable camping equipment in 1/24 scale, making it an appealing accessory for modelers who enjoy building modern SUVs, pickup trucks, and off-road vehicles.

Its compact size and vehicle-mounted design make it particularly useful for adding visual interest to an existing automotive model without requiring a large standalone structure.

The rooftop tent can become the centerpiece of a camping display or serve as one element in a more elaborate outdoor adventure diorama.

Open or Folded Rooftop Tent Display Options

One of the most useful features of Academy's 1/24 Rooftop Tent is the choice between two assembly configurations.

Open Configuration: Assemble the rooftop tent in its deployed position to represent a campsite where the occupants have stopped for the evening or are enjoying an outdoor adventure.

Folded Configuration: Build the tent in its packed position to represent a vehicle prepared for travel, making it suitable for an overlanding truck or SUV display.

These options allow modelers to choose the appearance that best matches their vehicle and overall diorama concept.

The kit also includes three different ladder styles, providing additional flexibility when arranging the tent and surrounding accessories.

The open and folded positions are alternative assembly choices rather than a guarantee that the completed tent can be converted between configurations.

Camper Figure and Dog Included

The Academy Rooftop Tent kit includes more than the tent itself. A camper figure and dog are supplied to help create a complete outdoor scene.

The poseable figure can be incorporated into a campsite display alongside the tent, while the dog adds an additional element of realism and character.

These figures make the kit particularly appealing to diorama builders who want to tell a story through their finished models.

Modelers can position the camper and dog near the vehicle, beside the ladder, or within a larger outdoor scene featuring additional camping accessories.

Careful painting of clothing, equipment, and animal details can further enhance the appearance of the finished display.

Perfect for 1/24 Scale SUVs, Trucks, and Off-Road Vehicles

The Academy 1/24 Rooftop Tent is designed to complement compatible automotive model kits, making it a useful accessory for builders interested in off-road trucks, four-wheel-drive vehicles, and modern camping conversions.

Potential display subjects include:

• Off-road SUVs equipped for camping adventures
• Pickup trucks converted for overlanding
• Four-wheel-drive expedition vehicles
• Recreational camping vehicles
• Custom-built automotive adventure dioramas
• Outdoor recreation scenes featuring 1/24 scale model cars

Before attaching the rooftop tent to a completed model, builders should check the vehicle's roof dimensions, mounting points, and overall proportions. Depending on the selected vehicle, custom mounting brackets or minor modifications may be needed.

Create a Custom Overlanding or Camping Diorama

The Academy Rooftop Tent offers numerous possibilities for modelers who enjoy building realistic miniature scenes.

A completed tent can be displayed on a vehicle parked along a forest trail, at a lakeside campsite, in a desert landscape, or within a mountain adventure setting.

Additional scenery such as rocks, grass, dirt roads, trees, camping furniture, coolers, and outdoor equipment can be incorporated to create a larger display.

The included camper and dog figures help establish a sense of scale while adding character to the scene.

For a realistic off-road vehicle display, modelers may also choose to add roof racks, spare tires, storage containers, auxiliary lighting, and other compatible aftermarket accessories.

Because the kit represents modern recreational camping equipment, it works particularly well with contemporary automotive subjects and custom-built expedition vehicles.

Painting and Weathering Your Rooftop Tent

The Academy 1/24 Rooftop Tent provides an excellent opportunity to practice painting fabric-like surfaces, plastic equipment, metal ladder components, and miniature figures.

Modelers can finish the tent in realistic outdoor colors such as olive green, tan, gray, black, or other camping-inspired shades.

Subtle shading can help emphasize the tent's construction and fabric appearance, while careful highlighting can bring out smaller details.

The ladders can be painted in aluminum, metallic gray, or dark finishes to resemble full-size camping equipment.

For a used overlanding appearance, apply restrained dust and weathering to the tent, ladder, and vehicle. Light earth tones can help integrate the accessories into a desert or off-road environment.

The included camper and dog figures can be painted separately before final placement to make detailing easier.

A Unique Accessory for Automotive Model Builders

While traditional plastic model car kits often focus on the vehicle itself, the Academy Rooftop Tent adds another dimension to automotive modeling by introducing a realistic recreational accessory.

The combination of an adjustable display concept, multiple ladder styles, camper figure, and dog allows modelers to create scenes that extend beyond a standard vehicle display.

It is an excellent choice for hobbyists interested in modern off-road vehicles, overlanding culture, camping equipment, and detailed civilian dioramas.

Whether used as a standalone accessory project or combined with a larger automotive build, the Academy Rooftop Tent offers plenty of opportunities for creative customization.
