56016 Tamiya – 1/16 U.S. M26 Pershing Full Option

Things just got realer. Starting with the 1/16 R/C sensation of the Tiger I
Early Production, and then with the M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer, Tamiya continues
to develop its 1/16 R/C Tank Series. The third full-option kit to make its
appearance is the U.S. Medium Tank M26 Pershing that fought during the end of
WWII and throughout the Korean War. Tamiya keeps increasing its knowledge about
R/C tanks and improving the realism of their movement and sound to make their
appearance even more striking.

Two-channel or four-channel RC unit is necessary to operate this kit. 7.2V
Tamiya Racing Pack (or equivalent) and charger are also required.

Model Characteristics
This is the 1/16 electric radio-control assembly kit of the U.S. Medium Tank M26
Pershing that made its appearance during the end of WWII.

Overall length: 536mm, overall width: 218mm, overall height: 197mm. Despite its large scale, the model has been thoroughly and accurately reproduced.

Not only can the model move forward and backward and turn with a great sense
of power, but the turret can be rotated and the gun raised and lowered. Recoil
of the gun and movement of the hull during shooting are also perfectly
reproduced and synchronized.

The sound of the engine has been recorded from a real Ford GAF Liquid cooled
V8 engine, the metallic clanking sound of the tracks and the sound of the
shooting of the main gun adapt to the model&39;s movement. Moreover, this kit
features headlights and brake lamps that light-up and main gun and front machine
gun that flash.

About the Engine Sound
The sound of the engine was digitally recorded from a real Ford GAF liquid
cooled V8 engine of the M26 Pershing at the Ropkey Armor Museum. All the
variation of sound of the real engine but also all the metallic clanking of the
track has been thoroughly recorded.
