Product Overview

The 1/16 Modern British Tank Crew 2 (TC16009)—more accurately a Modern British Tank Commander—is a premium resin figure released by Tanker Craft (affiliated with DKLMRC) in 2021. Crafted at a 1/16 scale, this half-body figure depicts a modern British tank commander, designed with super high detail to enhance 1/16 scale British military models, such as the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank. The camouflage pattern in the painted version aligns with the British Army’s Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP), making it an ideal accessory for RC tank enthusiasts, model collectors, and diorama builders focused on contemporary British armed forces.

Usage and Installation

• Installation: The half-length figure requires no complex assembly—just secure it to the turret hatch of your tank model. Model-specific glue (e.g., CA glue or resin adhesive) is recommended for attachment.
• Painting Tips (Unpainted Version): Replicate the British MTP pattern using model paints (e.g., Tamiya, Vallejo, or Citadel) in shades of brown, tan, green, and cream. Priming the resin enhances paint adhesion.
• Precautions: Resin is fragile—handle with care to avoid damage during assembly or transport.
