The Tamiya FH12 Tractor Truck, model number 56312, captures the spirit of the Volvo FH in compact 1/14 scale, making a historically important truck accessible to model builders. The real FH helped set standards with its Euro 2 12-litre turbo engine, and the kit echoes that character in its styling cues.
The ladder frame is made from aluminium for a strong yet lightweight foundation. The solid axle layout reproduces a realistic truck stance and gives predictable handling during display runs or light towing tests.
The gearbox offers three distinct ratios to match different driving requirements, from relaxed cruising to higher torque for hauling scale loads. Switching gears changes the truck's character for a more authentic run.
Fitted with a standard Electric 540 motor, the model balances performance with reliability. Finished with detailed styrene bodywork and chrome-style tyres, the FH12 makes a convincing scale model on the stand or track.
For modellers who enjoy accurate scale replication, the Tamiya FH12 delivers a sturdy platform and realistic components ready for finishing and tuning.
