Tamiya (#56018) - Tamiya 1/16 German
King Tiger (Henschel Turret) US$688.00
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.
During the second half of WWII, Zimmerit
coating was applied on German tanks to
protect them from the threat of magnetic
mines. For this kit, the Zimmerit
coating has been replicated with a
unique relief printed seal. Thanks to
this seal, you can now represent
accurately a late war King Tiger with
great ease.
About the German King Tiger (Henschel
Turret)
The German Heavy Tank King Tiger made
its appearance during WWII in 1944. The
chassis front armor was 150mm thick with
80mm thick side armor and powered by a
700hp Maybach HL230-P30 engine. The
Henschel and Porsche companies came up
with rival turret prototypes. The first
50 tanks produced had Porsche turret
whereas subsequent tanks were equipped
with the Henschel designed production
turret that featured many improvements
over the first model. The King Tiger was
armed with a 71-caliber 88mm gun that
had enough power to pierce 150mm thick
armor from 2000m away. Between The
beginning of production in Summer 1944
and March 1945, 440 units were
completed. Due to the havoc wreaked by
the King Tiger during the final German
offensive on the Ardennes front in
December of 1944, the Allied forces that
moved in on Berlin would fear the King
Tiger up until the very last day of the
war.
2 Types of Engine Starting Sounds
Besides using electric motor starter in
general conditions, the King Tiger's
engine was started using a crank starter
on cold days to save batteries power.
This model realistically replicates both
of these procedures. When switching on
transmitter first, the crank starting
sound is heard, but when you switch on
the receiver first, electric motor
starting sound is heard. You can now
feel like you are part of the tank crew
as you decide which procedure to follow
based on temperature conditions.
Recording the Actual Engine Sound
The only King Tiger kept in working
condition is displayed in the Musee des
Blindes in Saumur France. In order to
record the actual Maybach engine sound,
Tamiya's staff crossed half of the
planet to come to Saumur. Hearing the
700hp Maybach V12 engine sound when
running your King Tiger will provide you
with an even more striking feel of
realism.
Zimmerit Coating, Realistic and Easy to
Apply
During the second half of WWII, Zimmerit
coating was applied on German tanks to
protect them from the threat of magnetic
mines. For this kit, the Zimmerit
coating has been replicated with a
unique relief printed seal. Thanks to
this seal, you can now represent
accurately a late war King Tiger with
great ease.
