Scania R470 Highline Tribute in Metallic Orange

For modelers who value precise Euro truck detailing, the Tamiya Scania R470 Highline captures the spirit of the original with careful engineering and finish. This Orange Edition supplies pre-painted ABS panels in a metallic orange that stands out whether displayed or driven.

Roadgoing Heritage in Scale

The real Scania R470 is known for its rugged build and frequent use on long haul routes, a reputation this model reflects. Tamiya reproduces the R470's strong profile and functional cues so fans can enjoy scale realism at home.

Functional Scale Mechanicals

This Tamiya Scania R470 Highline Orange Edition is a working semi-truck kit, complete with a 3-speed transmission and a hitch that mates with Tamiya 1/14 trailers. The cab tilts independently of the fenders to mirror the real truck's service access.

Chassis Engineering and Ride Feel

Built on an aluminium ladder frame with resin cross members, the chassis gives a sturdy base for running. Metal leaf springs and coil dampers recreate suspension action, and optional parts let builders tailor handling and looks.
