King Tiger Porsche turret background

The Tamiya 56007 1/16 RC German King Tiger Porsche Turret reproduces a limited-run turret type that featured early in the King Tiger production. Its distinctive silhouette and historical usage make it a sought-after subject for scale military modellers.

Drive mechanics and control unit

Designed to simulate true tank movement, the kit uses a DMD Control Unit together with a dual tank gearbox and two 380-brushed motors. This arrangement provides controllable torque and nimble pivoting via a two-channel FET amplifier, suitable for varied terrain and display driving.

Supplies for assembly and finishing

Running the model requires a two-channel R/C unit and a 7.2V Tamiya Racing Pack with charger. The kit supplies parts for full assembly while paint and finishing tools like TS plastic model paint are suggested for accurate markings and weathering.
