* New* Tamiya 1/14 Scania 770 S 6x4 Semi Truck Build

[@ilcos45]

I drive with a Scania 770 S over whole Europe ,before i drive with a Scania 730 S ... Greetings from The Netherlands a Dutch driver.... Your work is fantastic..

[@Loulovesspeed]

Great to hear you say you were going to wash the parts with soap and water. Too many, particularly younger model builders, are not aware of the fact that you really need to do that to get the mold releasing agent completely removed in order to get a good quality paint job. I have been a model builder for better than 68 years and I learned that the hard way....but at least I learned! Good job. 😉

[@milk2lemon643]

Best TAMIYA truck building channel on KZbin, love your detailing.

[@ebreevephoto]

The Euros have always been my fav! There are so many third party accessories for them, way more than the American rigs. As always a great build video

[@emeraldzebra9360]

I actually drive one of these, and they are lovely trucks! Much better than the few US trucks I've driven.

[@solidloud1922]

Great video, the real life version headlights are the same small leds shine from top down with a concave reflector. I will add I've never seen a truck with as bright headlight/spotlights, I've drove this truck middle of the night on small scottish roads and with full lights on easy travel 1 mile 🤣 it's like daylight

[@mcox12345678]

Perfect combi what you are planning…. Camouflage painting and lighting like a Christmas tree

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

That is exactly what I am planning! With a few more surprises too!

[@swhalstead]

Building one of these now in the pre painted silver. Nice to have this video for reference.

[@clarencehosley9022]

I like the Euros Trucks to. Every time I want to buy one you can scroll down the page and all they talk about is how hard they are to build. I've been building the 1/24 & 1/25th scale trucks for a long time and the Euros in those kits are a bit more challanging than the US Trucks. So with all that said, thank you for all the work you do to help people like me to learn how to work with these kits, as many have said, thanks for sharing your skills with us.

[@michaelthomas3646]

I personally wouldn't let that stop you from building a european truck, and that is someone with serious hand-eye co-ordination issues. yes the screws are small and fiddly, but not building a full scale truck!! haha, I do all the super small screws over several nights, then it is not so much of a pain. the hardest e-clip is the fifth wheel plate which is the same with all trucks. wiring should be done with building the truck and cable managed while building. but overall I can't complain and just starting my 2nd build which will be fully custom, and nothing has really put me off building a 2nd truck.

[@malcolmmacdougall]

your truck looks brilliant.........well done

[@flipbreukers6728]

Hi Bob, Great building video! You were surprised by the short chassis rails. Since most European countries have strict laws which restrict trucks (tractor + trailer) lengths, most Euro trucks are short in design. This results in Cabover with trailers ‘hugging’ the cabs in order to maximise trailer lengths (and load capacity).

[@mauserkk98]

Nice build ,looks even better in the full size version.

[@WhiteSwordInterieur]

I'm from the Netherlands, being on the road every day and see scanias Volvo's etc trucks like that every day, they are small to us haha

[@AnthonyWiddowson]

Wow great looking truck. Been wanting to build this one for awhile, but can't justify the cost of it right now. Looking forward to seeing the one with all the lights.

[@lorrainedimmock4096]

Building one of these as I watch, I think the mudguards should be left plastic colour, as Euro UK models are made of rubber, or very thick plastic,very good build video, thanks..

[@rudolphward4375]

Yes that is one beautiful truck....Excellent work.

[@NutjobGTO]

So I'm only halfway done my Globe Liner and I'm already looking to add a bunch of accessories, and aluminium versions of the tail boom on this kit keep popping up. I'll admit that my whole career has been running Freightliners for a single company, but all the trucks I've ever run have the same sloped end to the frame rails. It's actually a triangle cut from the upper part of the vertical wall of the C channel, and the top gets bent down and welded in place, then a reinforcing plate stuffed inside before the crossmember gets bolted in. Above the frame rail, some trucks had additional wedges bolted to the frame to continue the slope up. All this so, if a trailer sinks into the ground a bit, you can wedge the tail of your truck under (if you're lucky) and lift it high enough to get it over the mounting brackets and slider rails to get the ramps of the fifth wheel under the trailer. The additional wedges are less common on air ride trucks, but the frame ends are still ramped. Lifting wedges are practically standard on any truck with more than just the mandatory front quarter fender, because it's real easy to utterly mangle a fancy fender on an off-balance trailer. I'll have to plan on trimming a bit off the Globe Liner's rails to fit a set of ramps. But then I'll be tapping and drilling a lot of holes already, adding the air bags and full fenders.

[@vicenteoricchio6165]

Excelente trabajo!!!!

[@chriscumming8529]

how much will u take for itt bob...

[@UKTrucker_Malc]

That’s a good looking model, pretty accurate. I drive a Scania 540S in the UK, exactly the same truck as the model you have there (not that couloir though) S is the type of cab (largest Scania cab size) and 540 etc is the engine horsepower. 770 is the most powerful engine Scania currently make.

[@pommesmayo7336]

this is my favorite truck. i wanna drive these truck now in euro truck simulator 2. lol

[@guillermomora6178]

Great truck, and very well paced video.

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Hi Bob those 2 on the bottom and and the top lights where are not hole,s or sockets for the leds are for very small daylight lightbulbs in the 1/1 truck. Ihave build this model but extended the frame, to pull a 4 axle A-frame trailer behind it.Swedisch style,and that scania build as a dream,it falls together without fighting it. It was good on the price,but well worth of it. I airbrusched the winds with 3 layers of tamiya smoke. And it looks gruweling nice. As always a nice vid from a build. Love to see the next one you build to haul a tanker,but a european style tanker,3 axle big belly tanker.

[@richardprobst7885]

Just a note the amber lens may be reflective lenses instead of side markers, that's why no pockets for LEDs.

[@dcbrown5333]

Really enjoyed watching this! I’m not experienced in this kind of model building and its very intriguing. However, you kept referring to what I assume are electrical components that could be added. The abbreviations that you used are Greek to me. I would like to know what you mean and where and how to source them. Thanks for a great video.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Watch earlier videos on my channel. A great place to start is the Globe Liner for Novices series.

You need a radio, servos, speed control, battery and charger. Plus paint etc. to build it.

[@NHTcreation]

Wow , amazing 🤩 good job💪💪💪

[@andrewdavis7017]

Hi Bob great build demo as usual a few notes on your comments the chassis length looks to be roughly correct for a full sized European truck unlike Tamiya's R series Scania and MAN TGX Euro5/6 which are actually too long in scale The tank on the right behind the exhaust box which forms part of the control unit cover would be black with a blue cap and is in reality used for Adblu (In the US you call it something else but I'm not sure what that is ) In the interior behind the seats is the bottom bunk and under the bunk between the seats are two storage lockers which are a fridge and locker or freezer so could be covered over if desired and still be realistic the upper bunk which is slightly narrower than the first is hinged up from the rear cab bulkhead at around 45 degrees when not in use this bunk is sometimes replaced by additional storage . Above the windscreen are three more lockers which sit back several inches into the office space these are depending on the spec of the vehicle are a very dark grey in colour The sunroof glass is tinted so painting it Tamiya smoke wouldn't look totally unconvincing though on the real truck there is also an interior shade which blocks out the light when required. The front tyres are super singles not dissimilar to those used on European tri axle trailers but with a different tread pattern which can aid grip and increase the axle limit to 9 metric tonnes useful for heavier loads. Personally I would ditch the vibration unit modern Euro trucks do not noticeably vibrate on tick over I am wondering though if it will be possible to add a simulated air ride cab suspension unit in the S series model as you can with the the older Euro kits with tilting cabs. Oh and the real truck stands at around 13ft 6 with the air kit attached and a standard reefer trailer is 13ft 9 in case you're interested i move into my new truck tomorrow though not a Scania has a similar interior i can post some pics on your Facebook page if anyone would like them. Sorry for waffling on and again great video Bob cheers

what is the wheel base on that truck ?

[@MrBlirre]

Great job, that is a nice truck. Have you noticed the steering design flaw on these eurotrucks. Revers akerman. Compared to a us truck chassie the front axel and steering is mounted backwards bacause the gearbox is so close to the front axel and the steeringrod dont fit. This reduce turning radius as the front tyres fight each other and skids on tight turns. You can se this by comparing wheelangel at full lock, the inner wheel have less angel than the outer wheel, should be the other way around. Have modified all my trucks to fix this with only kit parts.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, on all the euro trucks. You can move the tie rod to the rear to fix it.

[@rogerschmid4002]

Yeah got mine fitted with a Carsson tie rod aftermarket. That one is cropped so it can cross under the transmission

I’d like to think Tamiya take some ideas from the customers like the MFC behind the seats, we have been doing that for year by making false walls to mount them to, I’ve loved the look of this kit from its release but can’t understand why it’s priced so much more than any other 6x4 euro kit

Hi Bob. I am curious why people put steering left/right on one joystick and forward/reverse on the other joystick. Is this conventional? I would think it is easier to control on one side and it would avoid triggering other functions by accident.

A market would be there, but hardly big enough for Tamiya which is all about mass-production at a relatively high volume.
