Taigen Self Assembly Tiger I RC Tank Kit

A True Hobby-Grade Build Experience

The Taigen 1:16 Tiger I Self Assembly RC Tank Kit is designed for enthusiasts who want more than a ready-made model. Produced by Taigen, this kit delivers an immersive and rewarding build experience while resulting in a highly detailed, fully functional Tiger I replica.

With approximately 530 individual components, the build process is clearly structured using full-colour, step-by-step assembly instructions, with each stage clearly boxed and labelled. Whether you're an experienced RC tank builder or a patient first-time kit modeller, this project is designed to be engaging, methodical, and extremely satisfying.

Triple Configuration System - Static, Infrared, or BB Firing

This is a true 3-in-1 kit, allowing you to configure the tank as:

• Static display model.
• Infrared battle tank - ideal for organised IR battles against other compatible tanks.
• Airsoft BB firing tank - fires standard 6mm BB pellets.

Both the BB firing unit and infrared battle module are included in the box, and the design allows you to switch between configurations at any time, making this one of the most versatile Tiger I kits available.
