Tamiya continues to develop its 1/16 R/C Tank Series. The third full-option kit to make its appearance 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.

Astounding!

Engine start, idling and revving When receiver is switched on, the engine starter sound can be heard followed by high revving sound. At this moment, you can make the engine rev by moving the control stick. Tank will not move when revving function is engaged. You will have to release this mode to run the tank. The revving mode operates when you switch on the T-06 switch first.

The main gun

When shooting, the main gun flashes and recoils. Realistic firing sound can be heard while the hull oscillates. You can shoot every 9 seconds (6 times/min) like the actual tank. (No shell are fired).

Model characteristics

This is the 1/16 electric radio-control assembly kit of the U.S. Medium Tank M26 Pershing that made its appearance during the end of WWII. Overall length: 536mm, overall width: 218mm, overall height: 197mm. Despite its large scale, the model has been thoroughly and accurately reproduced. 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 gun raised and lowered. Recoil of the gun and movement of the hull during shooting are also perfectly reproduced and synchronized. The sound of the engine has been recorded from a real Ford GAF Liquid cooled V8 engine, the metallic clanking sound of the tracks and the sound of the shooting of the main gun adapt to the model's movement. Moreover, this kit features headlights and brake lamps that light-up and main gun and front machine gun that flash. Kit requires further items to complete: 4 Channel R/C, 7.2v Nicad and charger, glue, paints, modelling skills and patience!
