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 88mm gun raised and lowered. Includes DMD Control Unit and DMD Multi-Function Unit to put turret rotation, gun elevation/depression, and realistic light and sound action at your fingertips.
In order to record the actual Maybach engine sound, Tamiya's staff crossed half of the planet to come to Saumur France. Onboard speaker reproduces realistic engine sounds. Main gun and machine gun firing accompanied by LED flashes for greater realism.
Besides using an electric motor starter in general conditions, the King Tiger's engine was started using a crank starter on cold days to save batteries power. This model realistically replicates both of these procedures.
