Just about every sound the real Tiger I made can be made on Tamiya's massive 1/16 scale model Tiger I. When the tank is switched on, either a manual crank start sound, or an automatic engine start sound is heard. Once the engine is turned over, its time to move the tank around and the engine roar increases just as the real Tiger I. On stopping, the sound of idling begins. Once a target is located, rotate the massive turret and listen to the grinding of gears of the real German war machine. The more you control this R/C tank, the more you will feel like the commander of 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. Features of the model include rotating turret can be rotated, gun can be raised, lowered and fired. Recreated sound effects, recorded from a real Tiger Working machine gun Torsion bar suspension ,DMD control unit Factory assembled gearbox, Assembled tracks Full Operation Set 4 Channel Transmitter. All in all an awe inspiring model.
