The Tamiya 56321 Scania R470 Highline Metallic Special recreates the presence of the Scania R470 at 1/14 scale, complete with a bright chrome metallic exterior. The kit focuses on authentic detail and a rewarding build sequence for hobbyists who enjoy precision modelling.
Accurate aerodynamics and a detailed grille give the model a realistic face, while the cab tilts forward independently from the fenders to ease access for setup. The stiff ladder-frame chassis uses aluminium channels and resin cross members to support the drivetrain and bodywork.
This model features a 3-speed transmission so you can select gears with a compatible 4-channel radio. Metal leaf springs and coil dampers on both axles provide scale movement, and the die-cast front axle combined with a resin rear axle and differential offers durable, predictable handling.
Included is a coupler that fits Tamiya 1/14 scale trailers, enabling a range of trailer pairings. A Type 540 motor is included in the kit; you will need to supply battery, charger and a 4-channel transmitter to get running. Optional hop-up components are available for those who want to personalise the truck.
Hobbyists who enjoy accurate scale appearance and a hands-on build will value the Tamiya 56321 Scania R470 Highline Metallic Special for its blend of styling and mechanical detail.
