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

Authentic KV-2 Gigant 1/16 Scale RC Replica

For scale modellers and RC tank fans, the Tamiya 56030 RC Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 Gigant blends historical detail with practical engineering. This 1/16 scale full option kit is built to be driven as well as displayed, recreating the KV-2s imposing silhouette in functional radio control form.

Battle Era Background and Styling

The KV-2 earned its place in WWII history thanks to its oversized turret and 152mm howitzer. Developed to challenge strong defensive lines, it played a notable role in 1941. The Tamiya kit reproduces the KV-2s boxy turret and exterior fittings with careful attention to scale details.

Durable Chassis and Drive Components

This full option assembly includes a pre-assembled gearbox driven by Type 380 motors for dependable forward and reverse motion plus low-speed manoeuvres. Key chassis elements such as the lower hull and suspension arms are metal, while torsion bars and resin tracks help the model tackle uneven ground with realism.

Effects and Turret Control

The included DMD Control Unit T-08 enables immersive simulated combat. The main gun houses a barrel LED that flashes when firing, complemented by authentic sound from an onboard speaker. The turret rotates a full 360 degrees and the gun barrel elevates and depresses to copy real firing poses. You can add the optional Battle System for interactive mock engagements.

The Tamiya 56030 KV-2 Gigant suits collectors and experienced RC pilots who want scale accuracy plus working sound and recoil effects for display and skirmish use.
