Scale Accuracy and Operational Detail in the M4A3 Sherman

The Tamiya 48212 1/35 R/C U.S. M4A3 Sherman presents a faithful miniature of the wartime vehicle with careful surface detail and correct proportions. The model reflects notable fittings such as the 105mm howitzer so the finished build is historically recognisable and attractive on display.

Stable 2.4GHz Radio and Responsive Controls

Featuring a 2.4GHz control arrangement, the kit removes crystal tuning and delivers dependable control. Operators can command forward and reverse movement, precise turning, turret rotation and barrel elevation, and the preassembled gearboxes paired with type 130 motors produce convincing movement during runs.

Combat Simulation and Onboard Effects

The Sherman includes an infrared battle capability to enrich encounters. The MC-06 Control Unit simulates engine faults, reduces speed after hits and forces gun depression, while LED muzzle flash and rear status lights give clear visual feedback. The kit also supports an optional land mine simulation unit for scenario play.

The Tamiya 48212 M4A3 Sherman will appeal to modellers seeking a combination of accurate scale appearance and interactive features, making it a worthwhile build for display and running events.

Younger builders can tackle the kit with supervision; some small parts and fine assembly steps require patience and basic modelling skills.
The transmitter requires a single 6F22 9V cell while the tank uses four R03/AAA batteries, so keep spares handy for uninterrupted sessions.
Precision cutters, fine files and a small hobby drill make parts removal and fitment easier, while a steady hobby knife and good lighting improve results.
Aftermarket gears, tracks and accessory units are offered by specialist suppliers and can be fitted to customise performance or appearance.
