Tamiya Help and Advice
Skill required is similar to basic mechanical work - if you can change plugs and brake pads on a real car, you should be able to build a kit.

All kits require Acoms 4 channel Radio (includes control box, receiver, switch/BEC and servos), 2 NiCad batteries and Charger to function.  These are included in deals - you will need a craft knife, cross head screwdriver and pliers, plus paint and 8xAA batteries for the controller to complete model.  Note SHERMAN uses 2 channel radio. 

Unless stated otherwise, all deals include an overnight charger. This can be changed for a different charger - options below.

Items below are listed in order of current stock (in stock first, special order second)

Note: All our tank deals include TWO batteries.

Please note: All our stock is official UK product with full UK warranty on the expensive DMD control units (typically £250+ of electrical unit in each tank) and English documentation - we do not supply grey imports.

RC Leopard 2 A6

Widely recognized as the best modern day Main Battle Tank (MBT), Tamiya introduces the latest German Leopard 2 tank, the Leopard 2 A6, to the 1/16 scale R/C tank series. Tamiya’s biggest R/C tank ever, it’s just like driving the real thing!

About the Leopard 2 A6
The latest upgrade to the Leopard 2 is a newly designed 55 caliber 120mm smoothbore main gun. Measuring 1.3m longer than the 44 caliber main gun of its predecessor, the Leopard 2 A5, the new gun of the 2 A6 provides higher projectile velocity for increased range and penetration. The 2 A6 retains improvements made to previous Leopard 2 tanks including wedge shaped spaced armor effective against chemical weapons and improved electric gun control and stabilization system. The use of the 2 A6 continues to spread throughout Europe with the Netherlands, Spain and Greece adopting the 2 A6 as their main battle tank.

Click picture for larger view.

The 1/16 R/C Panther Type G Full-Option Kit released earlier this year was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, so Tamiya has moved forward with plans to add the tank destroyer version, the Jagdpanther, as the next new addition to our industry-leading 1/16 R/C tank lineup.

    Tamiya 56022 Panther G with Full Options

    Chassis: Tracked, Twin Gearbox 

      






    Click picture for larger view.

    German Panther (Panzer) Type G 1/16
    Tamiya's peerless 1/16 R/C Tank products are the ultimate in realistic indulgence, and with the German Tiger I and King Tiger already released, it is only natural that we now add the famous Panther Type G to the lineup. Tamiya staff even visited the renowned collection of the Musee des Blindes in Saumur, France in order to create the most accurate Panther sounds possible. Pit it against the previously released US Sherman and Pershing tanks on your own mock battlefield.

    Running Performance
    Front-mounted pre-assembled gearbox contains two type 380 motors to provide reliable all-terrain mobility. Dual motors can operate together or individually to replicate realistic tank movement. Metal torsion bars and suspension arms combine with wide tracks to realize smooth running and excellent manoeuvrability.

    Die-Cast Metal Parts
    For heightened reliability and realism, metal parts have been used for suspension parts, drive sprockets and idler wheels.
     

    Pre-Assembled Tracks

    Durable resin wide tread tracks are pre-assembled for maximum convenience. Metal shafts are used to connect track links for heightened strength and to create powerful movement. Adjust track tension by tightening or loosening tension adjustment screws.

    Main Action

    Turret can be rotated 360 degrees and main gun can be moved between 12 degree elevation and 10 degree declination accompanied by mechanical sounds. You can control moving speed and position via transmitter stick.

    Shaped Aluminium Gun Barrel
    High precision aluminium gun barrel does not require shaping or sanding for removing mold separation lines. This quality 75mm gun heightens overall looks of the tank.

    Sound Effects
    Realistic sounds accompany every movement such as turret rotation and gun elevation. The engine sounds were digitally recorded at the Saumur Tank Museum in France from a very rare working Maybach V12 tank engine. Speaker unit in the rear produces realistic and awesome engine running sounds and 2 types of engine starting sounds (electric starter and crank starter).

    Visual Effects
    When firing main gun, muzzle flashes, speaker roars and recoil gearbox retracts gun barrel, then slowly returns it to standard position. In addition to this action, the hull itself recoils by means of gearbox movement. Machine gun is also linked with firing sound and LED muzzle flash.

    Full-Option Set includes DMD Control Unit (T-03) and DMD Multi Function Unit (MF-01) to put turret rotation, gun elevation and light and sound effects at your fingertips.

    DMD Control Unit T-03
    The unit includes two FET speed controllers for operating two running motors. Independent circuits for turret rotation motor and gun elevation motor are also installed. With this unit, R/C tanks can be controlled easily just like an R/C car.

    DMD Multi Function Unit MF-01
    Connect to DMD control unit T-03 to provide many realistic effects such as main/machine gun firing sounds, muzzle flash and recoil movement.

    Reference Materials
    Model comes with full color Finishing Guide with illustrations and photographs to use when painting tank. Reverse side features story of the Panther tanks of 25th Panzergrenadier Division in four languages (Japanese, English, German & French).

    Guidebooks
    Set includes detailed Operation Manual which explains how to run the tank and achieve various operations. The clearly illustrated Parts List gives number and name of each part.

    Tamiya 56018 King Tiger with Full Options

    Chassis: Tracked, Twin Gearbox 

      


    Click picture for larger view.

    Tamiya continues to develop its 1/16 R/C Tank Series. The fourth full-option kit to make its appearance is the German Heavy Tank King Tiger. Not only can the model move forward and backward and turn with a great sense of power, but the turret can be rotated and the 88mm gun raised and lowered. To imitate the firing of the main gun and of front machinegun, light flashes while sound is heard. The sound of the engine has been recorded, with the assistance of the French museum of Saumur, from a real Maybach HL230-P30 engine of the only King Tiger kept in working condition in the world. Not only all stages of engine sound (idling through full throttle) but also all the metallic clanking of the tank tracks have been thoroughly recorded.

    IMPORTANT: This product at this price is stock produced for the UK market and covered by full warranties on the expensive DMD electrical units within the tank.  Ask if you do not know what this means.

    Tamiya 56010 Tiger 1 Early with Full Options

    Chassis: Tracked, Twin Gearbox 

      


    Click picture for larger view.

    Tamiya has put incredible power and versatility of the German Tiger I in your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional R/C tank. Check out the firing of the main cannon, complete with true to life flash and cannon recoil. The shot is so powerful that it actually causes the tank itself to recoil, just like the full size Tiger I.

    The only working King Tiger tank in the world is on display at the Saumur Tank Museum in France. Since the Tiger I used basically the same type of Maybach powerplant, some Tamiya staff members made their way to France to investigate. They recorded all the sounds of the real tank including; battery start-up, crank start-up, fly-wheel sound, etc. All the sounds of the enormous V-12 700hp engine have been clearly recorded and are waiting for you in Tamiya's 1/16 R/C Tiger I kit.

    This is the U.S. Medium Tank M26 Pershing that fought during the end of WWII and throughout the Korean War. Tamiya keeps increasing its knowledge about R/C tanks and improving the realism of their movement and sound to make their appearance even more striking.

    The sound of the engine was digitally recorded from a real Ford GAF liquid cooled V8 engine of the M26 Pershing at the Ropkey Armor Museum. Not only all stages of engine sound (idling through full throttle) but also all the metallic clanking of the tank tracks have been thoroughly recorded.

    Click picture for larger view.

    The Battle System is a revolution in tank-to-tank fighting. This system incorporates infrared light and realistic sound, eliminating the difficulty in judging, often found with other tank-to-tank games. Furthermore, infrared light is totally harmless and prevents damage to details of the tank body. The system is comprised of the GFS (Gun Fire Simulator) Unit and the Infrared LED Unit, for the respective detection and emission of infrared beams. A wide range of sound effects and actions are reproduced with Battle System including: damage blast, engine trouble sound, loss of speed, blast reaction, limited operation state, and finally inoperative state. Battle System provides a maximum shooting range of 30m and can be easily installed to your tank even after assembly and painting. Battle System lets you bring out the true roar of your 1/16 RC Tank!
