Italeri 3923 - VOLVO F-16 GLOBETROTTER (1:24)

Italeri 3923 VOLVO F-16 GLOBETROTTER depicts a specific heavy Volvo F-16 road tractor with the tall Globetrotter cab. The kit represents the two-axle version intended for long-haul heavy transport.

The original vehicle

Volvo introduced the F-16 in 1988, about ten years after the successful F-12. It was presented with up-to-date equipment for its time, a heavy-duty chassis and a turbocharged 16-litre six-cylinder engine with intercooler. The quoted output was 465 hp at 1200 rpm, alongside low fuel consumption, high travel comfort and the characteristics expected from a long-distance heavy tractor.

The version in the kit

This plastic kit focuses on the two-axle tractor with the high Globetrotter cab, a configuration closely associated with long-haul work within the F-16 range.
