The Tamiya 56004 King Tiger Tank Kit is aimed at builders who appreciate a mix of historical detail and mechanical fidelity. It makes a strong centrepiece for an RC military collection.

Is this kit aimed at collectors or modellers?

It suits both; collectors will value the scale detail while modellers can use the kit as a base for mechanical and electronics upgrades.

Do I need to buy a motor separately?

Most builders fit a high-torque motor to match the scale weight and track resistance; check the kit documentation for recommended mounting dimensions.

Can I add scale weathering and accessories?

Yes, the model accepts paint, decals, and aftermarket accessories such as tarps, tools, and stowage to enhance realism.

What routine checks should I perform after running?

Inspect track tension, clean debris from sprockets and road wheels, and check screws and mounts for loosening after sessions to maintain reliable operation.
