Tamiya 56318 Scania R470 Highline Scale RC Long Haul Truck Kit  [56318]

Authentic long-haul truck styling in scale

The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline recreates the distinctive look of Scania's R470 Highline cab at 1/14 scale, making it a solid project for modellers who value correct proportions and serviceable detailing. The kit focuses on an accurate silhouette and realistic fittings.

Fine exterior detail and tilting cab

Detailing includes a realistic mesh grille and a forward-tilting cab separated from the fenders, which mirrors the real truck's service access. The moulded fender interiors and outer panels are crafted to support convincing paint and finishing techniques.

Chassis design built for scale performance

The chassis combines aluminium channel members with resin cross pieces for a rigid build platform. Metal leaf springs and coil dampers give the suspension a scale appearance while the die-cast front axle and resin rear axle with differential aid stability and traction on mixed surfaces.

Motor, transmission and control

An included type 540 motor powers a three-speed assembly type transmission that can be operated using a separately bought 4-channel transmitter. The design employs a pin-type propeller shaft joint to lower friction and maintain efficient power transfer.

The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline kit is well suited to model truck builders who want a mix of scale accuracy and a reliable mechanical base for running and display.
