Explore the detailed Tamiya Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420, a 1/14 electric assembly kit that brings the spirit of the 1993 Volvo FH series to the model scene. The original truck made its name with a 12-liter Euro 2 engine and strong engineering, qualities echoed in this scale replica.
The aerodynamic cab and authentic mesh front grille capture the look of the real vehicle, while the tilting cab and separate fenders recreate service access and visual depth for the finished model.
The ladder frame uses aluminum channels and resin cross members for strength and realism. A kit-supplied coupler lets you connect any of Tamiya's 1/14 trailers, and a compatible 4-channel radio enables operation of the three-speed gearbox.
Metal leaf springs with coil dampers work with a die-cast front axle and resin rear axle to produce believable suspension action. Power flows from the forward-mounted Type 540 motor to the rear via a prop shaft, helping to reduce friction losses.
The Tamiya Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 suits modellers seeking a faithful build and scale operation, delivering both visual accuracy and mechanical substance.
