For modellers who enjoy realistic truck projects, the Tamiya 58457 RC Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Series U900 on the CC-01 frame recreates the multi-role vehicle in miniature. Its classic bonnet and round lamps reflect the original Unimog's longstanding use across a variety of tasks.
The CC-01 chassis delivers predictable handling across rough ground thanks to a front-mounted motor driving a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout. The front double wishbone and rear 4-link rigid suspension combined with CVA oil dampers keeps tyres in contact with the surface, and builders can lock the rear differential during assembly for extra traction.
The kit's polycarbonate body and metal-plated grille trim capture the Unimog look, and optional LEDs can be fitted for functional lighting. The model's bathtub ladder frame and longitudinal motor arrangement mirror the prototype while leaving room for routine upgrades and custom touches.
The Tamiya 58457 Unimog 406 kit is a versatile project for scale truck fans who want a robust baseline for upgrades or a faithful, driveable model straight from the box.
