Introducing the Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Edition

The Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Special blends a highly detailed 1/14 scale cab with a full metal-plated exterior that catches the light and chills out on display shelves. The plated body can be finished further using Tamiya clear sprays to dial in custom hues and gloss levels for a personalised look.

A Model with a Strong Following

Over the years the Knight Hauler has become a mainstay for model truck builders thanks to its ladder-type chassis that gives solid support to the solid axle front and rear suspension. The kit includes an RS540 motor for dependable drive, plus realistic touches like large roof spoilers and a convincing interior. Clear orange lenses for lights add authenticity when running at night or at shows.

Styling Upgrades and Electronics Compatibility

This metallic special swaps the standard body panels, roof spoiler and side trims for metal-plated alternatives to boost visual impact. Mechanically it matches the standard kit, so it works with the Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (56511) for added lighting and sound features when you want more realism on the road.

Assembly follows standard Tamiya kit procedures and requires moderate modelling skills. New builders should set aside time and use the manual carefully, or join a local club for tips.
