48206 Tamiya – 1/35 RC German Pz. IV Ausf.J W/4ch Control Unit RC Tank Kit Set

This is a 1/35 scale radio control assembly kit tank of the final variant of
the German WWII main tank Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J. The upper hull and gun
turret have been reproduced with the same high detail as that of a 1/35 scale
Military Miniature assembly scale model kits, which you will have much fun assembling
and painting the camouflage. The lower hull has been designed using a number
of R/C parts. By changing the attaching angle of both left and right wheels
with the equipped die-cast tension shaft, you are able to adjust the tension
of the tracks. Additionally there is only one gearbox controlling both the turret
rotation and gun barrel elevation making for simple assembly. Forward and reverse,
left and right movement actions as well as turret rotation and gun elevation
can all be controlled by a flick of a switch with the included compact and easy
to use button type 4ch ACTCOM transmitter. Six changeable FM27MHz frequency
crystals have been provided allowing multiple tanks to be operated at the same
time.

About the Panzer Ausf.J

Throughout WWII, the Panzerkampfwagen IV including the last version the Ausf.J,
had won the confidence and trust of the German troops who called it “the
War Horse”. When the war started going bad for the Germans in 1944, saw
the beginning of production of the Panzer Ausf.J which had a simplified design
with better defensive abilities. The main gun was the 7.5cm KwK 40 L48 taken
from the Ausf.H and for defense against approaching enemy infantry soldiers,
installed in the turret was a new hatch for throwing grenades, and it continued
using the borrowed schurzen from the Ausf.G. Inside the tank, the turret revolution
engine was replaced by a manually operated two step operating system, with the
extra space an additional fuel tank was built improving its range. The new model
Ausf.J fought to the end of the war as the core of the German Tank Units along
with the Panther and King Tiger tanks.
