Authentic Scale Modelling and Movement

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit recreates the visual detail of the real vehicle while providing mechanically sound parts for genuine motion. The kit is suited to those who enjoy careful assembly and operational realism.

Service History and Vehicle Changes

The M51 was a later Sherman variant featuring upgraded armament and protective measures, deployed in several post war scenarios. Tamiya has captured the distinctive upgrades so the model reflects the Super Sherman era.

Practical Features for True-to-Life Handling

The model includes functional turret rotation and barrel elevation, supported by an included ESC and motor for dependable control. Metal track links add robustness and help the tank cope with typical running surfaces encountered at club meets.

Build Hints for Best Results

Read each assembly step fully before starting, label small parts and keep adhesive to a minimum when fitting fine details. For a period finish, try subtle washes and controlled chipping to suggest service wear without overdoing it.

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit is an excellent project for modellers seeking scale fidelity and practical running performance, suitable for both display cabinets and outdoor demonstrations.

The kit leans toward intermediate to advanced builders due to mechanical assemblies and fine detailing, though careful beginners can complete it with time and reference material.
You will need to provide a compatible transmitter and receiver, battery and charger. The kit does include a motor and a pre-installed ESC to simplify the setup.
Regularly check track tension and link pins, clean debris after runs, and apply light lubrication to moving parts to preserve smooth operation and reduce wear.
Use thin washes to bring out recessed details, subtle dry brushing to highlight edges, and selective paint chipping for a service-worn look that remains believable at scale.
