Tamiya 56373 Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition Pre-Painted Scale Truck Kit  [56373]

Scale Realism and Detail in the Tamiya 56373 Scania 770 S

For modelers who value precision and authentic engineering, the Tamiya 56373 Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition delivers a faithful small-scale recreation of a flagship heavy truck. The kit captures the Scania 770 S character with careful attention to exterior lines and factory styling.

What Makes the Scania 770 S Stand Out

The full-size Scania 770 S 6x4 is known for its strong build and high output, featuring a 16.4-liter V8 diesel turbo engine rated at 770 horsepower. This 1/14 scale Tamiya replica mirrors that presence with a pre-painted TS-17 Gloss Aluminum body enhanced by a urethane top coat to reproduce a polished factory finish.

Chassis Design and Suspension Layout

The model follows the real truck's double rear-axle 6x4 layout with the motor and gearbox positioned toward the front. A ladder-style frame uses aluminum side channels with plastic cross members to balance authenticity and durability. The suspension uses metal leaf springs and friction-type shock dampers for realistic articulation.

Build Options and Radio Control Setup

Builders can personalise the cabin and exterior, with a tidy interior that includes dash details and seats. Optional LED lighting can be added for night runs. The assembly-type 3-speed transmission works with a separately supplied 4-channel transmitter to allow gear shifting during operation.

This Tamiya Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition suits experienced builders and scale enthusiasts seeking a detailed, authentic assembly project that also drives with believable truck behavior.
