Truck of the Year 2012

The TAMIYA Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace is a perfect replica of the Truck of the Year 2012. The 1:14 scale model features the high-roof version of the 510-hp top version, the world's largest truck manufacturer. Chrome-plated components, such as the mighty Mercedes star, give the 458 mm long and around 3 kg heavy kit their prototypical appearance. Particularly noteworthy in the latest addition, in TAMIYA's unsurpassed truck series, are the illuminated position lights, chrome fanfares and standard wide tires. Other new details such as two additional tote-angle mirrors and the finely reproduced fuel tanks characterize the prototypical appearance. Thanks to its powerful electric motor, which transmits its torque to the rear axle via a shiftable 3-speed manual transmission, impressive teams can be put together. The prototypical fifth wheel of the remote-controlled model allows coupling with numerous TAMIYA and CARSON-MODEL SPORT semi-trailers. With the optionally available multifunctional unit, the TAMIYA Mercedes-Benz Actros simulates almost all the sound and light functions of its big role model, the king of the roads.
