New tank don’t know the brand

[Cshaffer]

Here is another tank that I have and this one I am really interested in keeping for myself. There is no markings as of brand or anything like that it’s all metal weighs a lot though. It takes the nicd battery but there is a spot in the turret for two c battery’s I believe. Not sure the purpose maybe smoke? Also if I need to take pictures of different parts let me know thank you

Its a tamiya 56004 king tiger the battery box in the turret is for the gun flash

Tamiya King Tiger 1 st generation 5604, no recoil, no gun elevation, just flash, and no batteries in the turret? Except batteries for the flash.

Is there a easy way to get to the interior components I can’t seem to figure out how to separate it to get a better look inside

Also thank you for the information I really appreciate it

Usually on the king tigers rear engine deck there is a concealed thread which is fitted underneath one of the vent covers or the like, try turning ( usually the middle one ) and see if it starts to unscrew

Cheers,Lee.

No, more seriously, on this model, there must be 2 screws on each side on the back, in front of the two circular vents,Model.Builder, the system of which speaks exists only on those equipped with a loudspeaker.

Thank you for the help with the screws I got the top off. But whenever I plug a battery in it just starts driving so I’m gonna have to figure out what Is going on with the electronics. Or would I be better just to change them out if there outdated?
