Tamiya 56318 1/14 Scale Scania R470 Highline Detailed Truck Kit  [56318]

Scale rig with true-to-life cab styling

The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline delivers a faithful small-scale version of Scania's R-series cab, built to appeal to modellers who appreciate period-correct lines and workshop-style detailing. The kit recreates the Highline silhouette with careful attention to surface shape and fittings.

Detailed exterior and serviceable cab

Tamiya includes a mesh grille and a separately moulded cab that tilts forward, reproducing the real truck's access for servicing. The fender interiors and external mouldings are modelled to show authentic joints and panel lines, aiding realistic paint and weathering work.

Sturdy ladder chassis and dependable suspension

The chassis uses aluminium channel rails paired with resin cross members to give a rigid platform for the model. Metal leaf springs and coil spring dampers provide a realistic movement profile while the die-cast front axle and resin rear axle with differential keep traction and handling predictable.

Reliable motor and gear assembly

A type 540 motor is provided and links to a 3-speed assembly transmission for staged speed ranges. The design accepts a separate 4-channel transmitter for in-run gear changes, and the propeller shaft uses a pin-type joint to reduce drivetrain friction.

For collectors and active builders the Tamiya Scania R470 Highline kit offers both a rewarding build and a robust running platform, making it a go-to choice for scale truck projects.
