Off-track favourite Tamiya 48218 - 1/35 German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J RC Tank Kit  [48218]

Scale recreation of the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J

The Tamiya 48218 RC Tank Kit presents the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J in accurate 1/35 scale. Despite plans to replace the Pz.Kpfw.IV with newer designs, the IV remained in service late into WWII and the Ausf. J shows the pragmatic tweaks used for defensive duties and support roles.

Real motion and track behaviour you can see

Designed to operate as well as display, the model uses assembly-type track links that clip together to reproduce natural sag and reliable ground contact. The drive system supports forward and reverse, tight turns and pivots, plus turret spin and gun elevation under RC via the TTU-10 transmitter and MC-07 control unit.

Motor layout and speed control

Two drive motors combined with two turret-control motors allow precise handling for scale manoeuvres. The transmitter offers four speed settings for different scenarios, from slow tactical moves to quicker repositioning. The kit needs four AAA batteries for the model and four AAA for the transmitter; these are not included.

The Tamiya 48218 is a solid choice for RC hobbyists who value scale detail and full-motion control. It makes a rewarding project for model builders wanting a functional Panzer IV replica.
