Tamiya 56017 King Tiger Henschel Scale Armour Overview

The Tamiya 56017 King Tiger Henschel Full Set is crafted for scale armour fans who value accurate outlines and hands-on building. This 1/16 model pairs historical styling with working RC mechanisms for a rewarding hobby project.

Model History and Authentic Detail

The King Tiger, officially the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, was notable for its thick frontal armour and large turret. The kit captures key exterior features using finely moulded components so the finished model reflects the original vehicle's look.

Operational Components and Mobility

Key mechanical elements include a full chassis with realistic track movement and a turret that rotates under radio control. The supplied electronics let you operate driving functions and turret action, while the suspension reproduces the feel of tracked motion over uneven ground.

Build Experience and Finishing Choices

Assembly is laid out clearly in the instructions, making the Tamiya 56017 approachable for modellers who want to learn RC tank building. The kit accepts paint and decals so you can match museum references or create a custom finish.

With authentic shape and working electronics, the Tamiya 56017 King Tiger Henschel is well suited to modellers who run their tanks as well as display them.

The full set includes the main electronics, but you will need batteries and a charger to power the radio and motors before running.
Acrylic and enamel model paints both work well; use a primer first for even coverage and to protect the plastic surfaces.
Yes, many builders swap in higher torque motors or updated radio gear to improve performance, while keeping the original mounting points where possible.
