Bringing Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL Detail to Scale

If you enjoy hands-on builds and authentic truck replicas, this Tamiya kit captures the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL in 1/14 scale with careful attention to real-world form and layout. The assembly kit is aimed at hobbyists who want an accurate cab and chassis to customise and run.

Accurate Moulding and Custom Options for Model Builders

The FH16 Globetrotter XL reproduces the Volvo cab using precise injection moulding. The distinctive front grille is represented by photo-etched parts for finer detail. The kit includes optional pieces such as a roof bar and side bars for personal touches, and it can accept LED lighting if you choose to add them (LEDs sold separately).

Realistic 4x2 Drivetrain and Transmission Setup

The model uses a rear-axle drive 4x2 layout with the motor positioned toward the front and the gearbox mounted on a metal ladder frame. The included assembly-type 3-speed transmission provides realistic gear shifting, operated via a 4-channel transmitter (sold separately). An optional Multi-Function Control Unit is available for adding light, sound and vibration effects.

Interior Detail and Upgrade Potential

Builders will find interior parts like a modern dashboard and seats included to enhance realism. The kit is compatible with a wide selection of Tractor Truck Option Parts for further upgrades. A 1/14 driver figure is supplied to complete the scene.

The Tamiya Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL 1/14 kit delivers a rewarding build with authentic touches and room for upgrades, making it a solid choice for RC truck modellers who value scale accuracy.

The kit requires basic modelling skills and patience. If you have prior plastic kit or RC assembly experience it is straightforward, but beginners should allow extra time for painting and fitting photo-etched parts.
A standard 4-channel radio system will operate the gearbox and steering. Use a compatible ESC and two servos sized for truck-scale loads, and ensure the battery fits the chassis bay described in the manual.
Yes. The cab and optional bars provide mounting points that accept common LED kits, but plan wiring routes and use shrink tubing to keep connections tidy inside the cab.
Regular checks include tightening drivetrain screws, cleaning dust from the ladder frame, and re-lubricating gears after heavy use. Inspect leaf springs and shock friction surfaces for wear.
