Tamiya 56035 JS-2 1/16 Scale RC Heavy Tank Kit  [56035]

Tamiya 56035: Detailed 1/16 Scale JS-2 Replica

The Tamiya 56035 RC kit recreates the Soviet Heavy Tank JS-2 at 1/16 scale, preserving the one-piece cast front and period silhouette. Built to echo the JS-2s produced at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory (ChKZ), the model highlights the 122mm gun era styling while giving hobbyists a realistic machine for display or radio-controlled action.

Scale Accuracy Combined With Robust Parts

The kit pairs scale fidelity with functional engineering. It uses the DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07) to deliver genuine turret rotation and gun elevation control. Metal components such as the lower hull and suspension arms add strength, and the aluminium gun barrel reproduces recoil. Pre-assembled gearboxes driven by type 380 motors provide the torque needed to move this solid replica.

Engaging RC Combat Features

For enthusiasts who run tank battles, this model is compatible with the separately sold Battle System (Item 53447) for organised skirmishes. Onboard sound effects reproduce engine notes and turret actions to increase immersion during runs and demonstrations.

The Tamiya 56035 JS-2 kit is a solid choice for model collectors and RC tank hobbyists who want authentic looks, sturdy construction, and combat-capable systems.
