Tamiya RC Tiger I DMD/MF01 Accessory

Tamiya German Tiger 1 with Option Kit Tank

Tamiya brings the incredible power and versatility of the German Tiger I tank right to your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional R/C model. Packed with authentic features, this tank is designed to deliver a realistic and immersive experience, as showcased in the video clips below.

First, witness the firing of the main cannon, complete with a lifelike flash and authentic recoil action. The shot is so realistic that it causes the tank to jolt backwards, just like the original Tiger I. Watch the next clip to see the turret smoothly rotate, tracking down targets and preparing for the next strike. You’ll also get to see the faithfully recreated 7.92mm MG34 machine gun in action, along with the tank’s movement across rugged terrain on its durable resin and metal tracks.

Powerful Engine Sound

Tamiya’s 1/16 scale Tiger I replicates nearly every sound of the original. When the tank powers on, you’ll hear either a manual crank start or an automatic engine ignition, just like the real thing. As you drive, the engine sound dynamically responds, thundering louder as you accelerate and settling into an authentic idle when you come to a stop. Rotate the massive turret, and you’ll hear the grinding gears reminiscent of the iconic German war machine. The more you control this R/C tank, the more you’ll feel like the commander of the full-sized Tiger I.

The Thundering of the Maybach Engine
The only operational King Tiger tank is displayed at the Saumur Tank Museum in France. Since the Tiger I shared a similar Maybach powerplant, Tamiya staff visited the museum to capture the authentic sounds of the tank, including battery start-up, crank start, and fly-wheel hum. Every detail of the immense V-12 700hp engine was meticulously recorded, bringing the raw power of the original to Tamiya’s 1/16 R/C Tiger I kit.
