Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit DMD Ready  [56032]

M51 Super Sherman Heritage and Combat Role

In RC tank circles, the Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit recreates a notable chapter of postwar armoured development. The kit reflects the Israeli 1960s refit that equipped Shermans with the French CN-105-F1 105mm gun, a modification that helped the M51 contend with later Soviet designs during conflicts such as the 1967 engagements.

Drive Train and Suspension Details

The model mirrors its prototype with a front-mounted gearbox using two Type 380 motors, letting you run synchronized drives or separate motor control for pivot turns. Metal torsion bars and sturdy suspension arms are reproduced, and the broad track design improves traction and stability on rough layouts.

Electronics and Battle Ready Options

This full option kit is supplied for use with a DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07) to operate turret rotation, gun elevation and an array of sound and vibration functions. The aluminium gun barrel includes a recoil effect for added realism. For skirmish play you can add the separately sold Battle System, item 53447, for formalised tank duels.

The Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit suits modelers who appreciate period detail and robust mechanics. It works well as a display piece or a battle-ready chassis for hobby combat events.
