Leopard 2A6 1/16 KIT

Product detailed description

Remote control tank model kit (RC model).
A faithful model of the German MBT (Main Battle Tank) Leopard 2, which was developed in the 1970s. It entered service in 1979 and replaced the older Leopard 1 type. Today it is a very widespread tank, which is used in various versions by 16 other countries in addition to the German army. The main armament of the A6 version consists of a 120mm caliber cannon from the Rheinmetall company with a length of 55 calibers. From 1979 until today, more than 3480 Leopard 2 tanks of various versions have been produced.

The kit contains plastic and metal unassembled parts and pre-assembled mechanical parts (quality gearboxes with 380 motors, slide mechanism, barrel aiming mechanism, turret rotation mechanism). the undercarriage tub is plastic, some stressed parts of the undercarriage are metal (drive wheels, gearbox parts, etc...). The suspension of the travel wheels is through torsion springs. Cannons and machine guns are mainly metal.
The kit also includes complete electronics, including DMD Control Unit T-07 (integrated two FET speed regulators), multifunctional unit MF-06 (sound and function generator) and a high-quality speaker. Of course, there is a high-quality flash unit for the cannon and an LED for the machine gun. The electronics also includes software for stabilization especially while driving!
From our own experience, we can confirm the very realistic behavior of the model, such as sounds, flashes, recoil simulation, driving characteristics.

The Tamiya Battle System 300053447 (6453447) module can be purchased as a separate accessory, which can be used to simulate a battle with several models.
