Authentic 1/16 King Tiger Model for RC Fans

The Tamiya 56004 captures the look and feel of the King Tiger at 1/16 scale, delivering accurate surface detail and a build that teaches practical modelling skills. It is aimed at hobbyists who like historically accurate military models.

Underneath the Hull - Suspension Insight

Engineered with attention to functional detail, the Tamiya 56004 uses coil spring suspension and a track-driven system to mimic how the real vehicle negotiates rough ground. The assembly process reveals the tank's mechanical layout and makes for an instructive build.

Scale Performance and Detailing Potential

Collectors and scale modellers will appreciate the kit's faithful shapes and moving parts that respond realistically when driven. The King Tiger is a good platform for adding scale weathering, sound units, or upgraded motors.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/16
  • Drive System: Track-driven
  • Suspension: Coil spring
  • Material: High-quality ABS plastic and metal components

The Tamiya 56004 King Tiger Tank Kit is well suited to modellers who enjoy precise assembly and realistic scale detail. It offers both display quality and hands-on mechanical interest.

If you have built basic plastic kits before you should manage, though some subassemblies require careful trimming and alignment.
A compact high-torque motor paired with an ESC rated for the chosen battery voltage will provide smooth, realistic movement under load.
Painting is recommended to achieve authentic camouflage and weathering; pre-assembly priming helps with even coverage on ABS parts.
Weight varies with added electronics and upgrades, but the kit base with standard parts is balanced for stable running without excessive ballast.
Tamiya offers spare parts for many kits; check parts lists or specialist suppliers for individual components if you need replacements.
