Authentic Maersk Container for 1/14 Scale Model Trucks

Serious scale modellers will value the Tamiya 56516 Maersk 40-Foot Container as a standalone item for dressing up tractor units and trailers. It brings a recognisable Maersk shipping box into your scale scenes without requiring a full semi-trailer purchase.

Attention to Detail in Construction

The unit pairs an aluminum frame with ABS panels on the front, top and sides to recreate the structural look of a real container. The panel patterns and fittings are rendered to provide convincing visuals for display and photography.

Designed for Display and Practical Use

Operational rear doors add realism for loading scenarios, and included stacking hardware lets you combine multiple containers into a yard or multi-load arrangement. This makes the kit useful for both static displays and functioning rigs at shows.

The Tamiya Maersk 40-Foot Container is a practical choice for collectors and display builders seeking accurate, ready-to-assemble cargo for 1/14 trucks.

It is supplied with parts for stacking and mounting, but depending on your trailer you may need simple brackets or a support plate to secure it.
Decals are provided for the Maersk livery; applying a clear coat after finishing will help protect the markings during handling.
The door hinges are designed for repeated use, but like all moving parts they benefit from careful assembly and occasional maintenance.
This container is primarily for scale appearance and display; for heavy competitive use consider reinforcing mounting points to cope with rough handling.
