Scania R470 Highline in Striking Orange

Hobbyists after detailed European truck scale work will find the Tamiya Scania R470 Highline rewarding to build. The Orange Edition arrives with factory-applied metallic orange ABS body panels that give a clean, durable finish.

True to the Road

The full-size Scania R470 is prized for strength and long distance capability, traits echoed in this accurate scale rendition. Tamiya captures the important design elements that make the R470 recognisable.

Real Mechanics, Scaled Down

The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline Orange Edition functions as a full kit with a working 3-speed transmission and a compatible hitch for Tamiya 1/14 trailers. The cab tilts independently from the fenders to reflect real service access.

Rugged Chassis and Suspension

An aluminium channel ladder frame with resin cross members forms a robust base for the model. Metal leaf springs combined with coil dampers recreate suspension dynamics, while optional parts allow personalising ride and handling.

With sturdy construction and scale function, this Orange Edition suits modellers who want a display-worthy truck that also performs on the move.

Basic modelling tools like screwdrivers, pliers, hobby knife and fine files are needed, plus a small hex driver set for metal parts. Patience and a clean workspace help a neat build.
No, the kit requires separate purchase of an ESC, receiver, transmitter and battery pack to be operational. The body and many mechanical parts are included but electronics are not.
You can upgrade to a brushless motor if you adapt mounting and gearing as needed. Ensure the chosen ESC and motor are compatible with the 1/14 truck layout and cooling considerations.
Tamiya 1/14 scale trailers with a matching hitch are the best fit. There are many trailer styles available that allow you to create realistic tractor-trailer combinations.
