Summary of the Tamiya 84273 Tiger I Early Production

The Tamiya 84273 is a 1/16 scale Tiger I replica that emphasises historic detail and functional realism. This full option kit is aimed at advanced model makers seeking an accurate and mechanically faithful project.

Precision Detailing and Metal Upgrades

Using the Tamiya 56010 as its base, this limited edition adds a host of detail-up parts to increase visual and functional authenticity. Notable items include an aluminium gun barrel and photo-etched grille set, along with scale features such as the mantlet, air cleaners, under-hatch detail and a commander figure to achieve period-correct looks.

Electronics, Motors and Mobility

The Tamiya 84273 includes a DMD Control Unit and a Multi-Function Unit to replicate realistic tank actions. The pre-assembled gearboxes fitted with type 380 motors supply reliable drive, while the torsion bar spring suspension and pre-assembled tracks reproduce genuine handling. A 4-channel transmitter with self-neutral trim, for example the Futaba Attack T4VWD, is a suitable choice.

Yes, when finished and painted it makes an excellent display piece, and the functioning drive and suspension mean it also performs well on suitable running surfaces.
Standard modelling tools and adhesives are required, along with fine brushes for detail work. A small set of files and hobby knives will help with photo-etched parts.
Verify gear mesh, track tension and secure electrical connections, and ensure the transmitter trims are set to neutral for smooth initial tests.
