Tamiya Mercedes Benz Arocs 56357 Special Edition in 1/14 Scale

The Mercedes Benz Arocs is a benchmark for scale haulage models and Tamiya's 56357 special edition captures that presence in miniature. This 1/14 scale kit blends accurate styling with a chassis layout built to withstand regular use, making it a dependable project for model truck fans.

Pre-Finished Cab and Durable Coating

Tamiya supplies the cab in TS-8 Italian red with the rear bed in TS-17 Gloss aluminum, both sealed under urethane clear. This finish resists wear and keeps the model looking sharp without a complex paint process, ideal if you prefer assembly and setup over painting.

Robust Frame and Practical Materials

The ladder frame uses aluminium side channels and resin cross members for strength, while the bed mixes a metal subframe with resin panels to balance weight and realism. Twin rear axles driven by the TR mighty-tuned 35T motor deliver the torque expected from a heavy-duty model.

Accessory Compatibility for Added Realism

Add the Electric Actuator Set (56545) for working bed movement and fit an MFC-03 (56523) or MFC-01 (56511) to introduce lights and sound. The included 3-speed gearbox works with a separately sold 4-channel transmitter for multi-gear operation.

Tamiya's Mercedes Benz Arocs 56357 Special Edition offers a solid mix of out-of-the-box finish and durable mechanics, suitable for hobbyists who want a detailed tipper with realistic options.

Assembly time varies by skill level, but the pre-painted cab speeds the process. Expect several evenings to complete the chassis, drivetrain and optional electronics installation.
Yes, there are aftermarket and Tamiya options for stronger driveline parts, metal upgrades and improved electronics to tailor performance and durability.
This tipper is best on smooth surfaces, paved areas and well-groomed tracks. Its scale suspension and weight distribution favour controlled runs rather than extreme off-road terrain.
