Smooth
turret and gun movement
In order to
obtain smooth rotation, the turret ring has been
equipped with 20 steel balls. The newly designed
system for gun elevation and recoil effect features
a servo for more realistic movements. While rotating
turret with gun in lowered position, the gun
automatically raises and goes back to its initial
position to avoid the engine deck, like the actual
tank


7
lighting combinations
The R/C leopard 2
A6 features various workable lights such as
headlights, tail lamps, brake lights, black-out
lights and rotating light. Model features 7 lighting
combinations, 4 for tank during combat operations
and 3 during non-combat operations. Main gun and
axial machinegun also flash when fired.


Metal
parts for accuracy
Kit includes
die-cast sprockets and lathe-turned aluminum gun
barrel. The double-pin tracks, which are equipped
with pads made out of rubber like the actual tank,
come pre-assembled. In order to obtain an even more
striking feel of realism, mesh of the baskets
mounted on rear of turret, and grills on the engine
compartment cooling fans have been reproduced with
photo-etched parts.


Evolved
DMD unit
The T-07 DMD unit provides the 1/16
R/C Leopard 2 A6 with more features than any other
Tamiya R/C tank. The T-07 unit matches engine sound
(which has been digitally recorded from a real
MB873-Ka501 turbo-charged diesel engine) with tank
movements, and controls various lightning
combinations activated easily with transmitter.
Turret rotation, gun elevation and firing sounds
also add to the realism of this model. The T-07 unit
and 7.2V battery are mounted in the turret for easy
and quick accessibility.

Synchronized
light and sound effects
The R/C Leopard 2
A6 is equipped with a sound speaker unit mounted at
the center of the hull. A xenon flash tube is used
to make gun firing more convincing. When fired, main
gun recoils and then goes back smoothly to its
initial position thanks to a gearbox mounted in the
turret. Of course, these actions are coupled with
sound effects which have been digitally recorded
from the actual tank.
