The Tamiya FH12 Tractor Truck, model number 56312, recreates the look and presence of the Volvo FH series at 1/14 scale for enthusiasts who prioritise accurate modelling. The original vehicle's Euro 2 12-litre turbo diesel gave it a strong reputation, mirrored here in the kit's period-correct proportions.
The aluminium ladder frame provides a stiff foundation and helps maintain a realistic stance. The solid axle setup matches the prototype's basic suspension layout and supports scale-accurate handling characteristics.
The three-speed gearbox allows selection between gear ranges to suit different driving styles, from steady cruising to greater pulling torque for loaded runs. It adds a useful layer of realism to the model's behaviour.
Equipped with an Electric 540 motor, the FH12 balances straightforward power delivery with ease of maintenance. Combined with a styrene cab and chrome-effect tyres the kit presents well on display and during practical running sessions.
The Tamiya FH12 is a rewarding kit for scale truck fans seeking a solid build platform and room for tasteful upgrades.
