A 1/35 scale Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J built for operation

The Tamiya 48218 kit recreates the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J at 1/35 scale. The Pz.Kpfw.IV continued to serve late in WWII while other projects progressed, and the Ausf. J represents the later production optimisations used in defensive and support roles.

Scale-accurate tracks and functional motion

This model is intended to be run as well as displayed. Assembly-type tracks clip together to show realistic sag and maintain contact with the ground, aiding low-speed stability. The drive system supports forward and reverse, pivots and turns, plus turret rotation and gun elevation controlled by the TTU-10 transmitter and MC-07 control unit.

Controls, motors and user options

Fitted with two drive motors and two turret control motors, the kit provides dependable movement for scale manoeuvres. The transmitter features four speed settings so you can pick the pace that suits your scene. Note that the kit requires four AAA batteries for the model and four AAA for the transmitter, which are not included.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Motion: Full range including turret and gun
  • Control Unit: TTU-10 transmitter and MC-07
  • Motors: Two drive motors and two turret control motors
  • Power Requirements: 4 AAA batteries for both model and transmitter (not included)

Tamiya 48218 is suited to modellers and RC fans seeking a faithful Panzer IV that moves convincingly. Its combination of detail and control makes it a rewarding project and an engaging runner.

It is designed for both. The detailed bodywork makes a fine display piece, while the drivetrain and turret motors enable active RC operation when built and powered correctly.
Confirm all screws and linkages are secure, ensure tracks are aligned, fit fresh AAA batteries to the model and transmitter, and test controls indoors at low speed before outdoor use.
Yes, model weathering techniques like washes, pigments and chipping film work well. Mask moving parts and avoid heavy deposits on mechanical areas to keep operation reliable.
Check official Tamiya spares from reputable hobby retailers or authorised dealers. Keep part numbers handy when ordering to ensure correct replacements.
