Scale hobbyists who enjoy accurate reproductions will find the Tamiya 56373 Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition a satisfying project. The kit reproduces the proportions and styling cues of the real Scania 770 S for a convincing small-scale presence.
The real Scania 770 S 6x4 is built for heavy duty performance, powered by a 16.4-liter V8 diesel turbo engine producing around 770 horsepower. Tamiya captures that imposing profile in 1/14 scale with a pre-painted TS-17 Gloss Aluminum shell finished in urethane for a showroom shine.
This model mirrors the twin rear-axle 6x4 configuration and places the motor and transmission toward the front. The ladder frame combines aluminum side rails with plastic cross members to keep the look authentic while managing weight. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers create a believable ride feel.
Modelers can upgrade the truck with interior detailing or add LED lighting kits. The kit includes an assembly-style 3-speed transmission which operates with a separately sourced 4-channel radio for in-run gear changes.
The Tamiya Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition is aimed at model builders who enjoy intricate assembly and realistic truck handling, making it a rewarding addition to any scale fleet.
