Taigen Hand Painted Tiger RC Tank - Full Metal Upgrade - 360° Turret

Top-Tier Tiger I from Taigen

The Taigen Tiger represents one of the most advanced and feature-rich 1:16 scale Tiger I models available today. This latest version builds on Taigen's already exceptional reputation by adding a new full 360-degree rotating turret, combined with an unparalleled list of metal upgrades and a beautifully executed hand-painted acrylic camouflage finish.

This is the highest configuration Taigen offers - every major upgrade is factory-fitted, resulting in a tank that feels heavy, solid, and authentically engineered.

Hand-Painted Acrylic Finish - A True Collector's Piece

Each Tiger tank is individually hand painted using hobby-grade acrylic paints, producing subtle tonal variation, shading, and weathering effects that cannot be mass-produced. The desert-style camouflage gives the tank a battle-worn, operational appearance, making every model completely unique.

The detailing is completed with:

• A fully painted tank commander.
• Realistic metal tow cables.
• Photo-etched engine grilles.
• Scale lighting and fittings.

When displayed, this tank looks every bit as impressive as a static museum model - yet it remains fully functional.

Extensive Full Metal Upgrade Specification

This version includes one of the most comprehensive metal upgrade lists available in any 1:16 RC tank, dramatically improving durability, traction, and realism:

• Metal turret, turret cover, and metal armour panels.
• Metal gun barrel and muzzle.
• Metal tracks with realistic linked construction.
• Metal drive wheels and idler wheels.
• Strengthened metal chassis.
• Steel gearbox with bearings (black steel 4-in-1 gearset).
• Shock absorbers and metal suspension components.
• Metal shoulder wheels.
• Metal hooks (front and rear).
• Metal machine gun light and metal front forward light.
• Metal pull rope.
• Photo-etched grilles.

The result is a tank with exceptional weight distribution, improved off-road handling, and a truly authentic "all-metal" feel.

Airsoft Firepower, Smoke, and Dual-Channel Sound

The Tiger is equipped with a 6mm airsoft BB firing system featuring recoil action and a safety switch:

• Fires standard 6mm plastic BBs.
• 40 BB internal magazine.
• Can fire while driving.
• Realistic recoil effect on firing.

To enhance immersion, tank also includes:

• Working smoke generator producing exhaust smoke.
• Advanced 2-channel sound system, allowing gunfire sounds to play over continuous engine audio.
• Authentic sound effects including engine start-up, engine running, machine gun fire, and main cannon firing.
• Adjustable sound volume.

These systems combine to create a convincing battlefield presence.

360° Turret and Proportional Control

The new full 360-degree rotating turret removes previous traversal limites and allows continuous rotation for realistic targeting. The gun barrel elevates and depresses smoothly, while independent track motors provide:

• Proportional forward and reverse movement.
• Pivot turning and spins on the spot.
• Precise low-speed manoeuvring.
• Confident climbing of gradients up to ~35° (surface dependent).

The 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver deliver excellent range, accuracy, and reliability, with no crystal swapping and no interference when running multiple tanks together.
