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.
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.
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.
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.
