Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger 1/16 KIT

Product detailed description

Remote control tank model kit. It contains plastic and metal parts (most parts are metal), gearboxes with motors and basic mechanisms for controlling the rotation of the turret and cannon. The entire lower part of the tank is metal, including most parts of the undercarriage, the turret, cannon barrel, tracks and many details are metal. The construction kit contains parts for the version with a mechanism for firing BB 6mm bullets, as well as for the version with an infrared combat module. Designed for advanced modelers.

German heavy tank Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger was produced by Henschel in 1942-1944. With the 8.8 KwK 36L/56 gun installed, the Tiger was one of the best tanks of WWII. That is why the German army (Wehrmacht) used it on many battlefields, in the deserts of North Africa, on the Eastern Front and, in the late phase of the war, on the Western Front as well.

Explanation of abbreviations: KIT - unassembled model delivered in the form of a kit.

This kit can be completed in three different versions:
- RC model with the function of shooting BB 6mm bullets
- RC model with the function of IR fights and a realistic cannon butt (we recommend this version as the most beautiful from a functional point of view).
-Static model

To build a static model, you need to purchase: Paints, brushes, contact glue, common modeling tools.

To assemble the RC functional model, you need to purchase (according to the version of completion): Suitable RC kit, multi-function unit, ESC controllers, flash unit, cannon control servos, speaker, smoke generator, drive battery, charger, paints, brushes, contact adhesive, common modeling tools .

Alternatives of the possible completion of the RC model:

1.The simplest design, without sounds, BB and IR functions
Functions - proportional drive forward/backward, right/left, turret rotation, cannon raising.
Needed to purchase: 4-6 channel RC kit (we recommend Carson Reflex Stick 6k), 2x ESC controller (15-20A) for controlling the motors (belt drive), 2x small ESC controller (7-10A) for controlling the turret rotation and cannon lifting ( or a combined electronic switch, for example DSYS), or 1x servo for raising the cannon, drive accumulator, charger, batteries for the transmitter.

2.The most perfect execution
Features - proportional drive forward/backward, right/left, cannon and machine gun fire, remote control of lights, functional turn signals, reverse and brake lights, realistic sounds of the engine and other mechanisms, gunfire sounds, etc. Realistic tank behavior, including IR battle functions.
Needed to purchase: 6-channel RC kit Carson Reflex Stick 6k, multifunctional unit Elmod Fusion ECO, or Elmod Fusion PRO, alternative servo servo (not necessary), alternative servo raising the cannon (not necessary), speaker, flash unit (if you are not building a BB version), smoke module, LED lights, LED machine gun, IR battle module (if you are building the IR battle version), drive battery, charger, transmitter batteries.

WARNING! This RC model is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves very much like a real tank. Due to its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and operated, it can cause you injury, or injure the viewer, or damage property. The model is intended for driving in a large room or outside on a dry surface, under no circumstances can it be driven in water, snow, puddles, mud, sand, tall grass, on public roads and other places (e.g. parking lots ) with car operation. High "hairy" carpets are also unsuitable surfaces. This model requires regular maintenance. This model is not a toy, requires maintenance and is intended for modelers over 14 years of age.
