Tamiya Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 in 1/14 Scale

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.

Precision Exterior and Cabin Crafting

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.

Robust Frame and Trailer Compatibility

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.

Realistic Suspension and Powerflow

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.

Specifications

  • Motor: Type 540 included
  • Transmission: 3-speed, manual operation

The Tamiya Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 suits modellers seeking a faithful build and scale operation, delivering both visual accuracy and mechanical substance.

Assembly time varies with experience but expect several dedicated sessions to complete the bodywork, chassis and electronics installation.
The kit includes sound and LED systems, but some wiring and installation steps are required to integrate these with your chosen radio and power source.
The scale truck performs best on smooth tarmac, concrete or firm compact surfaces where the suspension and drivetrain can be appreciated.
Tamiya supplies replacement parts for common wear items; check parts lists and vendors for specific chassis and body components.
