Designed for RC modellers who want convincing behaviour and detail, Tamiya's 1/16 Tiger I kit blends mechanical realism with accurate scale fittings. The kit rewards careful builders with satisfying operation.
The Tiger I is remembered for its heavy armour and powerful armament. This Tamiya kit reproduces the key visual and functional cues that define the vehicle, ideal for dioramas and running demonstrations.
The model offers a working main cannon with flash and recoil, plus machine gun firing simulation. Resin and metal track components provide realistic ground contact and a convincing profile during movement.
Engine audio varies with throttle so start-up, acceleration and gear changes all have aural feedback. Turret rotation and drivetrain noises add to the sensation of controlling a scaled war machine.
To run the tank you will need a four-channel radio, two 7.2V Tamiya Racing Packs and an appropriate charger. The kit requires assembly and some setup work to tune handling and electronics.
Tamiya 56010 is a grounded choice for those who enjoy scale accuracy, mechanical effects and the hands-on aspect of a classic RC tank build.
