Recorded Sounds and Realistic Actions

Tamiya used source recordings from a historic King Tiger at the Saumur Tank Museum in France to reproduce engine and mechanical sounds, applying them to start-up, idle and drive cycles. The audible cues add context to manoeuvres and give a more immersive driving feel.

Firing simulations include a main gun flash and recoil as well as an MG34 effect to enhance realism. The resin body parts and metal-linked tracks give robust movement across grass, gravel and packed earth while keeping scale fidelity.

Everything Included for First Runs

The set is supplied with a 7.2V rechargeable battery, a 110V charger and a 4-channel transmitter so you can start operating straight away. Whether you display it or run it at events, the package gives a balanced mix of detail and out-of-the-box functionality.

The Tamiya 23609 - 1/16 Tiger I Early Production R/C tank is ideal for scale enthusiasts and club operators who want realistic sounds and working effects in a ready-set format. Its complete kit makes it a good fit for display or practical running.
