Scale Accuracy and Mechanical Detail in 1/16

The Tamiya 56004 reproduces the King Tiger at 1/16 scale with careful attention to surface detail and period-correct proportions. The kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy hands-on assembly and mechanical realism.

Drive System and Running Gear Overview

The model uses a track-driven layout paired with coil spring suspension to emulate the original vehicle's running characteristics. During assembly you can inspect gear interactions and see how suspension travel affects track tension.

Hobby Uses and Upgrade Paths

Perfect for display or for running at scale events, this kit offers a solid base for fitting sound modules, upgraded motors, or scale accessories. Its construction lends itself to customization while keeping authentic movement.

The Tamiya 56004 King Tiger Tank Kit appeals to modellers who want a realistic build with room for technical enhancements. It balances scale detail with practical engineering.

Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, files, and a hobby knife are required, plus small screwdrivers and pliers for mechanical fitment.
Smooth dirt tracks, grass with short blades, and compact gravel suit this model. Avoid very soft mud or deep sand without protective upgrades.
Assembly time depends on experience and detail work, but plan for several dedicated evenings to complete the main build and fit electronics.
