The Legacy of Tamiya's M51 Super Sherman

In the world of RC tanks, few models capture historical significance and engineering prowess quite like the Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman. This model pays homage to the Israeli Ordnance Corps' innovative upgrades during the 1960s, where they transformed aging Sherman tanks into formidable battlefield machines by integrating the powerful French 105mm CN-105-F1 tank gun. The M51 Super Sherman distinguished itself during the Six-Day War of 1967 by effectively engaging newer adversaries such as the T-54/55 and JS-3 tanks from opposing forces.

Engineering Excellence and Realism

The Tamiya M51 Super Sherman is more than just a scale model; it's a tribute to the engineering marvels of its time. The front-mounted gearbox features two Type 380 motors, allowing for synchronized or independent operation to achieve forward/reverse movement and pivot turning. The inclusion of metal torsion bars and suspension arms, combined with wide tracks, enables this tank to navigate rough terrains with remarkable agility.

Immersive Experience with Advanced Features

Equipped with a DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07), this RC tank offers turret rotation, gun elevation, and realistic sound and vibration actions. The aluminum gun barrel not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also incorporates recoil effects for an authentic experience. For those looking to enhance their battles, the separately available Battle System (Item 53447) allows for engaging one-on-one or team tank battles.

The Tamiya 56032 - 1/16 RC M51 Super Sherman is perfect for RC hobbyists who appreciate historical accuracy and advanced engineering. Whether you're a collector or a competitive player, this model offers both an educational journey and thrilling tank battles.
