Tamiya 56362-56553 - Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 Scale Tow Truck Kit 1/14  [56362-56553]

Scale-Accurate Volvo FH16 Globetrotter Tow Truck Kit

The Tamiya 56362-56553 recreates the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 in 1/14 scale, designed for modellers who prioritise authenticity and robust construction. The kit reflects the imposing cab profile and towing capability of the prototype.

Detailed Cab and Real-World Styling

This R/C version mirrors many Volvo FH16 features including a well appointed cab and fine external grilles. The FH16's 750hp reputation is echoed in the model's heavy-duty appearance. Twin steering on the front axles adds a level of scale realism to steering dynamics.

Robust Underpinnings and Drive System

Constructed with an aluminum ladder frame and resin cross members, the model uses metal components where strength is needed. Power from a front motor is routed to the rear axles via a prop shaft and differential, while metal leaf springs and friction dampers provide a convincing suspension feel.

Options for Remote Control Actuation

Owners can fit the Actuator Set (Item 56553) to control the winch boom and underlift by radio. Compatibility with the Multi-Function Control Unit "Euro-Style" (MFC-03) allows for enhanced lighting and sound packages when desired.

For scale truck fans who enjoy assembly and authentic operation, this Tamiya Volvo FH16 Globetrotter tow truck kit offers strong build quality and upgrade paths for added realism.
