Tamiya 56016 1/16 U.S. M26 Pershing Collector Kit  [56016]

M26 Pershing Scale Model from Tamiya 56016

Tamiya's 56016 U.S. M26 Pershing Full Option kit recreates the American medium tank used in the closing months of World War II and during the Korean conflict. The kit combines historical styling with operational systems to satisfy experienced modellers and collectors.

Scale Accuracy and Mechanical Action

The model reproduces the Pershing's proportions and movement in 1/16 scale. With overall dimensions of 536mm by 218mm by 197mm, the kit features a rotating turret and gun elevation mechanism. The linked recoil and hull motion during firing provide convincing mechanical action on the model.

Authentic Soundtrack and Lighting

Digitally recorded engine sounds are taken from a Ford GAF V8 to give realistic engine character, complemented by track clanks and main gun effects. Functional headlights and brake lamps are included, together with flash effects for the main armament and machine guns.

Electronics, Battery and Assembly

To run the model you will need a two-channel or four-channel transmitter, a 7.2V Tamiya Racing Pack or equivalent battery and a suitable charger. The build is detailed and intended for those with prior modelling experience; the instructions have been refined to make battery handling more straightforward.

The Tamiya 56016 U.S. M26 Pershing Full Option kit is well suited to modellers who prioritise historical detail and authentic operation. It stands up as both a display piece and a fully functional RC tank when completed.
