Background on the Porsche turret variant

The Tamiya 56007 1/16 RC German King Tiger Porsche Turret represents a distinctive early turret configuration that saw limited production during WWII. Its unique silhouette and battlefield role make it a compelling subject for scale reconstruction.

Mechanics, motors and the DMD unit

The kit models realistic propulsion using a DMD Control Unit paired with a dual tank gearbox and two 380-type brushed motors. This setup provides fine low-speed control and confident tracking, managed via a two-channel FET amplifier for smooth manoeuvres.

Recommended radio, battery and finishing options

To operate the model you will need a two-channel R/C set and a 7.2V Tamiya Racing Pack with compatible charger. The kit ships as an assembly project, and hobby paints such as TS-series are recommended for authentic colours and detailing work.
