Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit Collector Edition  [56032]

Origins of the M51 Upgrade

The Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit reflects a significant upgrade programme that equipped Sherman hulls with the CN-105-F1 105mm gun during the 1960s. This conversion enhanced firepower and allowed those tanks to remain operational against more modern armoured opponents.

Transmission and Suspension Overview

The model faithfully portrays the front-mounted gearbox layout using two Type 380 motors to recreate driving dynamics, including precise forward and reverse movements and pivot turning. Metal torsion bars and solid suspension arms are modelled to give a credible feel when running over uneven surfaces.

Onboard Electronics and Realism

Designed for use with the DMD T-08 control unit and MF-07 multi-function unit, this kit supports turret rotation, barrel elevation and a suite of sounds and vibration effects. The aluminium barrel includes a recoil mechanism and the optional Battle System 53447 can be added for scored combat encounters.

Collectors and active modellers will find the Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman Full Option Kit balances period detail with practical electronics and upgrade paths for display or combat use.
