Tamiya 56007 1/16 King Tiger Porsche Turret RC Kit  [56007]

Historical overview of the King Tiger Porsche turret

The Tamiya 56007 1/16 RC German King Tiger Porsche Turret recreates a rare wartime variant that made a strong impression in WWII battles. The Porsche-designed turret was fitted to only a small number of vehicles before the switch to the Henschel design, yet it remains a notable piece of military vehicle history.

RC drivetrain and control details

This scale model goes beyond appearance to replicate realistic motion. The DMD Control Unit works with a twin motor gearbox driven by two 380-type motors, giving precise low-speed steering and full-speed tracking via a two-channel FET amplifier for responsive tank maneuvers.

Required gear and finishing tips

To run this model you will need a two-channel R/C transmitter, plus a 7.2V Tamiya Racing Pack and compatible charger. The kit is supplied for assembly, and hobby paints such as TS plastic model paint are recommended for authentic finishes and weathering effects.

The Tamiya 56007 King Tiger Porsche turret kit is well suited to collectors and modelers who value historical detail and a capable dual-motor drive system for realistic RC tank operation.
