Scale Authenticity for the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL

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.

High Fidelity Parts and Custom Fit Options

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).

Chassis Layout and Transmission Mechanics

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 Accuracy and Expansion Possibilities

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.

It is suitable for both. The detailed body makes it a strong display piece, while the robust ladder chassis and 3-speed gearbox allow it to be driven when fitted with the right electronics.
A standard 4-channel transmitter provides the functions needed for steering, transmission control and any extra accessories. Pair it with a reliable ESC and two servos matched to the model's scale loads.
Photo-etched parts require careful handling and precise glue application. Use fine tweezers and a small drop of CA glue, and consider bending fixtures for exact alignment if needed.
Yes, the kit is compatible with a range of Tractor Truck Option Parts that let you change bumpers, mirrors, light bars and other scale accessories to suit your build style.
