Tamiya 56018 1/16 King Tiger Henschel Turret Full Option Kit Off-Road Favourite  [56018]

What the Tamiya 56018 King Tiger Delivers

The Tamiya 56018 King Tiger is a detailed 1/16 scale full option kit that recreates the look and working functions of the Tiger II. It blends accurate exterior detail, movable turret and gun, and an integrated sound package to make a convincing running scale model.

Operational Features and Engine Audio

This kit features full turret rotation and gun elevation mechanics. The included sound unit plays recordings from the Maybach HL230-P30 engine, offering realistic idling, acceleration, and higher rev characteristics, while the track sounds give added scale presence when driving.

Zimmerit Texture Without Sculpting

Tamiya provides a relief-printed Zimmerit seal so builders can reproduce the wartime coating without tedious carving. The result is a tactile surface that photographs and displays accurately after painting and weathering.

Scale Narrative and Model Heritage

The King Tiger's heavy armor and 88mm main gun made it a standout in wartime design, and only a small number were produced. The model captures those key visual cues and makes for a prominent exhibit or running subject in any collection.

For builders who like to combine accurate scale detail with functioning RC elements, this Tamiya kit offers a satisfying mix of modelling and running capability.
