The Tamiya 56022 - 1/16 RC German Panther Type G is aimed at modelers who want a balance of scale fidelity and reliable mechanics. The kit provides realistic motion and detailed components to recreate a museum-quality Panther in radio control form.
A pre-assembled gearbox is mounted at the front and houses dual Type 380 motors that can be linked or run independently for accurate tracked handling. Metal torsion bars and reinforced suspension arms with broad tracks help the model move smoothly over mixed terrain.
Engine audio captured at the Saumur Tank Museum in France reproduces the Maybach V12 sound profile and varies with throttle input for believable responses. The visual package includes timed muzzle flashes and recoil effects that sync to the sound module.
Die-cast parts add strength and scale authenticity where needed. The turret provides full 360 degree rotation and the main gun has functional elevation and depression with mechanical cues. Pre-assembled tracks use metal shafts for durability and the aluminium gun barrel is machined to a high standard.
This Panther kit is well suited to experienced modellers who want a mechanically sound, highly detailed RC tank that performs credibly on display tracks or at skirmish events.
