Tamiya 48201 1/35 M1A1 Abrams Builder RC Kit 120mm Gun  [48201]

Compact M1A1 Abrams Ready to Drive

The Tamiya 48201 brings the U.S. M1A1 Abrams into 1/35 scale with detailed parts and run-ready components. It builds into a functional model that looks the part and moves convincingly for club runs or display use.

Drive System and Audio Details

This kit uses a two-channel transmitter to manage forward, reverse and turning while a small speaker reproduces engine and firing noises for atmosphere. The turret and barrel are fixed, so the kit emphasises chassis drive and sound rather than a rotating turret.

Putting It Together

Tamiya helps by pre-installing wiring for the digital controller and receiver, making the electronics straightforward to finish. Motors are supplied and the power requirements are four AA batteries for the tank plus one 9V for the transmitter to get rolling.

The Tamiya 48201 combines a satisfying build with practical running features, making it a popular choice for modellers who want a realistic, driveable Abrams without complex turret mechanics.
