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.

Use a 7.2V Tamiya Racing Pack battery designed for scale electric models; standard NiMH packs of the correct connector type work well.
No, the kit does not include a transmitter or receiver; plan for at least a two-channel radio to control movement.
Upgrading motors is possible but check motor size and ESC compatibility; higher power will change handling and battery life.
TS-series plastic model paints and enamel washes are commonly used to achieve authentic colour and aging on the kit's ABS parts.
