Taigen Hand Painted King Tiger RC Tank - Full Metal Upgrade

A Flagship Taigen RC Tank

The Taigen Hand Painted King Tiger represents the very top end of hobby-grade radio controlled armour. Produced by Taigen, this Tiger II with Porsche turret combines exceptional scale accuracy, premium materials, and immersive electronics into a model that is equally suited to active RC battles or display as a collector's centerpiece.

At nearly 2 feet in length, the King Tiger has an imposing presence. Its proportions, detailing, and mass closely reflect the real WWII heavy tank, making it one of the most visually impressive 1:16 RC tanks available.

Hand-Painted Finish - Every Tank is Unique

Each model is individually hand painted using acrylic paints, with layered shading, wear effects, and subtle weathering to replicate a combat-worn battlefield appearance. Unlike factory spray finishes, this process ensures:

• Natural colour variation.
• Realistic ageing effects.
• A truly unique finish on every tank.

The effect is completed with a fully painted, uniformed tank commander, adding further authenticity.

Full Metal Upgrade Specification

This version includes all available metal upgrades pre-fitted, dramatically improving strength, weight, and realism:

• Metal caterpillar tracks.
• Metal gearbox.
• Metal drive and idler wheels.
• Metal hooks and fittings.
• Metal hobby exhaust sm.

These upgrades not only enhance scale appearance but also improve drivetrain reliability and off-road performance compared to plastic-based models.

Airsoft Firepower, Smoke, and Dual-Channel Sound

The King Tiger is equipped with a fully integrated 6mm airsoft BB firing system:

• Fires standard 6mm plastic BBs.
• Approx. 50ft firing range.
• 40 BB internal magazine.
• Red LED firing light illuminates before firing.
• Gun barrel elevates and depresses (up to 30°).

For maximum immersion, the tank also features:

• Realistic smoke generator producing exhaust smoke.
• Advanced dual-channel sound system, allowing gunfire to be heard over continuous engine sounds.
• Authentic audio including engine start-up, engine running, machine gun, and main cannon fire.
• Adjustable sound volume.

Together, these systems deliver a highly convincing battlefield experience.

• Longer, more stable operating range.
