Precision Scale Build for the Scania R470 Highline Metallic

The Tamiya 56321 Scania R470 Highline Metallic Special reproduces the Scania R470 in 1/14 scale with a polished chrome-style finish. The kit is engineered for modellers who value clean lines, accurate proportions and a hands-on assembly experience.

Scale Looks and Practical Layout

The aerodynamic profile and detailed grille provide authentic scale visuals, and the cab tilts forward separate from the fenders to simplify access during setup. A ladder-type chassis built from aluminium channels with resin cross members gives a robust platform for the drivetrain and bodywork.

Gearbox, Springs and Axles

The model is equipped with a 3-speed gearbox that lets you change gears using a 4-channel radio. Metal leaf springs paired with coil spring dampers deliver believable movement, while the die-cast front axle and resin rear axle with differential strike a balance between realism and longevity.

Accessories, Trailers and Upgrades

The kit includes a coupler compatible with Tamiya 1/14 trailers so you can add a range of trailer styles. A Type 540 motor comes in the box; battery, charger and recommended transmitter must be supplied separately. Optional hop-ups are available for those seeking improved strength or appearance tweaks.

The Tamiya 56321 Scania R470 Highline Metallic Special suits collectors and builders who want a technically faithful model with scope for upgrades and detailing.

Check drivetrain gear mesh, tighten any loose fasteners, inspect suspension components and tidy wiring after the first few runs to prevent wear and ensure reliability.
A 4-channel transmitter is recommended so you can allocate a channel for shifting the 3-speed gearbox while keeping steering and throttle controls separate.
Keep an eye on body mounts and linkage points for stress, and replace any worn plastic parts with hop-up metal options if you run the model frequently.
Various wheels and tyres designed for 1/14 scale trucks can be fitted, but check offset and clearance before finalising selection to avoid rubbing on the body or suspension.
