This Tamiya assembly kit recreates the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL at 1/14 scale with an emphasis on accurate proportions and realistic components. It is designed for hobbyists who enjoy assembling detailed truck models and customizing them for display or running.
The cab is produced using accurate injection moulding, while the grille detail is delivered via photo-etched elements to enhance realism. Builders can add optional items like the roof bar and side bars, and the shell accepts LEDs if you wish to light up the model (LEDs are not included).
The 4x2 layout uses a rear drive axle with the motor mounted toward the front on a metal ladder chassis. The kit includes a 3-speed assembly transmission that simulates gear changes when used with a 4-channel transmitter (sold separately). For immersive effects, a Multi-Function Control Unit can be fitted as an optional accessory.
Interior components such as a dashboard and seats are supplied to add scale realism. The model supports many Tractor Truck Option Parts so you can tailor its appearance and performance. A 1/14 driver figure is included to complete the cabin scene.
Tamiya's Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL kit is a detailed, upgrade-friendly model that appeals to modellers who prefer scale accuracy and practical running performance.
