Faithful Scale Reproduction

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit captures the look and feel of the original vehicle while offering an involved build process for keen modellers. The kit balances fine surface detail with mechanical parts built to perform on the track.

Background and Service of the M51

The M51 was an enhanced Sherman variant fitted with stronger firepower and protection, active in several mid-century conflicts. This model preserves the visual cues and proportions that define the Super Sherman for display or diorama use.

Realistic Control and Movement

Designed to mimic authentic tank functions, the kit provides turret rotation and barrel elevation along with a factory fitted ESC and motor for accurate control. Metal tracks deliver better grip and durability across common run sites.

Practical Building Notes

Follow the instructions step by step and check fit before committing parts. Keep a set of fine files and needle nose pliers handy, and consider lightweight weathering to bring out panel lines and rivet detail for a more convincing finish.

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit appeals to modellers who prefer accurate scale work and operational detail, making it a rewarding project for display and running.

It is doable for a determined beginner, but the kit has many small parts and mechanical assemblies so allow extra time and refer to step photos or community build threads if unsure.
The full option setup includes a pre-installed ESC and a motor, plus metal track links. You will need to fit your own receiver, battery and charger to power the model.
Flat grass, compact dirt and concrete are suitable. The metal tracks give traction, but avoid very wet or sandy conditions to protect bearings and electronics.
Apply washes and dry brushing to highlight panel lines, add light chipping where edges wear, and use period-accurate paint schemes and decals for a convincing result.
