Japanese model manufacturer Tamiya represents the pinnacle of precision, dedication and attention to detail – and the company has recently released a fully working radio-controlled Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 6×4 tractor unit in the UK.
To celebrate, Trucking has teamed up with The Hobby Company, Tamiya’s UK distributor, to offer one lucky reader a stunning prize: a scale model Actros 3363 kit, radio equipment, battery and charger worth £500!
Tamiya’s latest Actros features a range-topping GigaSpace cab and is modelled in exacting 1/14th scale. The kit features a range of realistic details – including leaf-spring suspension and friction dampers, ABS plastic body parts and a number of metal chassis components. The chassis is also built for durability, with aluminium side channels with resin crossmembers.
As additional extras (though not included in the competition prize), the tractor unit can be augmented with a realistic LED lighting kit to accurately recreate front and rear lights, plus a rumble kit to produce authentic engine vibrations when in operation.
