Scania, originally a Swedish company, has continued the proven quality and innovation with this model series. Technically, the Scania New R is equipped with various modern features, including a powerful engine, improved aerodynamics, and an optimized cabin that significantly enhances driving comfort. The range offers different engine options with a power range from 230 to 730 horsepower and offers a choice of 12 or 14-speed gearbox.

The model shown here is a 1/24 scale replica of the Scania New R, produced by Italeri. Highly popular among collectors, as it represents a detailed reproduction of the original. It is important to note that this model has been customized and does not represent the product originally produced by Italeri. The detailing in the model is very precise, with meticulously replicated components such as the chassis, exterior mirrors, and the frontal grille structure. The interior is also detailed, with a dashboard and seats that closely resemble the original in terms of design. This precision makes the model a special piece in any collection.
The exterior appearance of the model is characterized by a striking blue paint job. It bears the inscription "Dark Diamond" and has white stripes along the body, creating a dynamic look. The paint is cleanly applied, giving the model a shiny and well-maintained appearance. The chrome parts like the wheel caps are also faithfully reproduced and well-crafted. These meticulous details convey the elegance and modern design of the Scania New R even in the small scale of 1/24.
However, this model has been modified and includes features that were not present in the original Italeri product. These personalized elements, such as additional decals or altered color schemes, make the model unique and give it a personal touch. In the photos by Modelly member “The-Dude,” you can see some of these modifications like the markings on the cabin and the colorfully designed springs on the chassis. These modifications contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of the model, which collectors worldwide particularly appreciate.
