Tamiya's series of ultra-realistic 1/14 scale R/C trucks has offered fun and realistic driving for the past several decades. This new kit takes that driving fun to the next level with a tow truck, which makes its living towing heavy duty vehicles such as semi-tractor trucks. It promises a completely different element of enjoyment to predecessors in the series. The kit recreates the FH16 marketed by Volvo, a renowned manufacturer in the global commercial vehicle market. The FH Series includes a 750hp 16.1-litre turbocharged inline-6 engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 tow truck.
