Tamiya 56361 56357 - Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 1/14 Tipper Kit (Red/Silver)  [56361]

Authentic Scale Trucking with the Tamiya Mercedes Benz Arocs 56357

The Mercedes Benz Arocs is a standout in heavy-duty trucks and Tamiya has captured that character in the 56357 special edition. This 1/14 model balances fine detailing with a build aimed at reliable operation and realistic presentation.

Ready-Finished Cab with Protective Coat

The cab is supplied in TS-8 Italian red while the tipper uses TS-17 Gloss aluminum, both covered by a urethane clear coat to protect the finish. This factory painting removes a major step for modellers who want to spend more time running the truck than painting it.

Durable Frame and Thoughtful Construction

The ladder frame features aluminium side channels supported by resin cross members for structural integrity. The bed combines a metal subframe with resin panels for a convincing look without unnecessary weight. Power comes from a TR mighty-tuned 35T motor driving twin rear axles for credible hauling performance.

Fitting Extras for Realistic Operation

For moving bed action, fit the Electric Actuator Set (56545) and add MFC modules like the MFC-03 (56523) or MFC-01 (56511) to introduce lights and sound. The model includes a 3-speed transmission intended for control via a separately purchased 4-channel radio.

The Tamiya Mercedes Benz Arocs 56357 Special Edition is a sensible choice for modellers seeking a detailed, pre-finished 1/14 tipper that supports realistic accessories and upgrades.
