The Legacy of the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J in RC Form
The Tamiya 48218 RC Tank Kit brings to life the storied German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J, a workhorse of the late WWII German forces. Despite plans to replace it with the Panther, the Pz.Kpfw.IV continued to serve valiantly on various fronts due to production delays. This final variant, the Ausf. J, was optimized for defensive operations and streamlined for use in related vehicles like assault guns. From the beaches of Normandy to the heart of Germany, this tank proved its mettle against the advancing Allies.
Realistic Features for Authentic Engagement
This 1/35 scale model is more than just a static display; it's an interactive experience that captures the essence of the original vehicle. With assembly type tracks that snap together to realistically depict track sag, the model ensures stable and smooth operation even at low speeds. The full range of motion, including forward and reverse movements, turns, pivots, turret rotation, and gun elevation, is controlled via the 4-channel TTU-10 transmitter paired with the MC-07 control unit.
Advanced Control and Customization
Equipped with two drive motors and two turret control unit motors, this model allows for precise control over your maneuvers. The transmitter offers four speed options, providing flexibility whether you're simulating a stealthy approach or a rapid advance. Note that this kit requires four AAA batteries each for both the transmitter and the model, sold separately.
