Tamiya 56030 KV-2 Gigant Full Option RC Tank 1/16 Scale  [56030]

KV-2 Gigant Scale Tank for Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 56030 RC Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 Gigant is aimed at RC enthusiasts who want a true-to-scale, working model. This 1/16 scale full option kit combines detailed exterior sculpting with operational features for field use and display.

Historical Notes and Exterior Detail

Famous for its massive turret and the 152mm main gun, the KV-2 was developed to assault fortified lines and saw action in 1941. Tamiya reproduces the tanks distinctive box turret and external equipment with careful scale accuracy.

Mechanical Layout and Materials

The kit includes a ready gearbox driven by Type 380 motors to provide the torque needed for slow speed control and forward or reverse drive. Metal parts in the lower hull and suspension arms add strength, and metal torsion bars plus resin tracks help the model negotiate uneven terrain.

Combat Simulation and Electronics

With the DMD Control Unit T-08 the model offers convincing combat effects. The main barrel LED flashes on firing and the speaker reproduces firing sound. The turret turns a full 360 degrees while the barrel elevates and depresses to simulate firing angles. The optional Battle System enables organised mock battles.

Tamiya 56030 KV-2 Gigant offers a rugged, historically faithful RC tank platform for model builders who want immersive sound, recoil and realistic mobility.
