Operate a Classic in 1/35 Scale: Tamiya M4A3 Sherman

Tamiya's 1/35 M4A3 Sherman recreates a widely recognised U.S. Medium Tank in a compact, runnable kit. The model reflects the M4A3 layout and its association with the Ford GAA V8 era, combining scale authenticity with functional radio control.

Accuracy in Moulding and Motion

Fine surface detail such as weld marks and correctly profiled assembly type tracks deliver a convincing scale look. The kit supports turret rotation and gun elevation controlled through the MC-07 unit and TTU-10 transmitter for realistic operation.

Practical Build Notes

Assembly type tracks are designed for manageable assembly while keeping visual integrity. Careful part preparation, correct adhesives and patient painting will lift the final appearance for display or running sessions.

Performance Settings and Control

Choose from four speed settings to suit display runs or active manoeuvres. With two drive motors and two turret motors fitted, the model responds smoothly to steering input and turret commands.

Just received my 5th RC Tank from RCJaz! Very pleased with my buying experience so far! Queries are answered promptly, Ordering is fuss free and Delivery is very prompt; always within 3-5 days. Standard delivery packaging can be better though but there’
Build time varies by experience, but expect several evenings to properly assemble, paint and finish the kit for best results.
Upgrading electronics is possible where space allows; check clearances and wiring routes before fitting alternative components to avoid interference.
Regularly clean track links and check motor mounts and connectors; keep batteries fresh and avoid water exposure to prolong component life.
Spare track links and replacement parts are often available through specialist suppliers; verify compatibility with the 1/35 assembly type tracks used in this model.
Light weathering with washes and drybrushing improves realism without obscuring detail; practice on spare parts to refine technique.
