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

Scale KV-2 Gigant Replica for Radio Control

RC modellers and military history fans will appreciate the Tamiya 56030 RC Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 Gigant for its blend of scale accuracy and operational features. This 1/16 scale full option kit is intended for active use as well as for shelf display.

Origins and Visible Details

The KV-2 became notable in WWII for its oversized turret and the 152mm howitzer it carried. Initially created to overcome strong defensive positions, it proved significant during the 1941 campaigns. Tamiya captures the KV-2s characteristic rectangular turret and external fittings at scale size.

Powertrain and Robust Build

The kit arrives with a pre-assembled gearbox and uses Type 380 drive motors to supply controlled speed and torque for realistic manoeuvring. Metal lower hull panels and suspension arms add rigidity, while metal torsion bars and resin track links help the model traverse rough ground.

Simulated Firing and Turret Motion

With the DMD Control Unit T-08 installed, the model delivers convincing combat simulation. The main gun LED flashes when fired and onboard speaker effects reproduce firing sounds. The turret is capable of full 360 degree rotation and the barrel moves up and down to mirror real gun positions. The Battle System can be fitted separately for team play.

Tamiya 56030 KV-2 Gigant is a strong choice for those wanting scale fidelity plus working sound and recoil effects for both diorama display and active RC skirmishes.
