56026 Tamiya – 1/16 RC German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J W/Option Kit

• This final variant of the German “War Horse”
  the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J. which served throughout the whole of WWII
  is now released as a 1/16 scale radio control assembly kit tank. Through the
  realistic reproduction of the tanks hull and the 7.5cm KwK 40 L48 main gun,
  the style of the Panzer IV can be easily seen. The hull is comprised of various
  metal parts guaranteeing chassis integrity. The underside is reproduced just
  like that of an actual tank using a metal plate. The DMD control unit allows
  easy control over forward/reverse and left/right turning actions including
  turret rotation and gun elevation. The gun firing action is accompanied with
  by realistic gun barrel and hull recoil actions as well as muzzle flash and
  firing sound effects. Furthermore the authentic engine sounds were digitally
  recorded at the Panzer Museum Munster in Germany from a very rare working
  Maybach V12 tank engine.
• Main Gun Firing
  LED located in the barrel replicates the muzzle flash, and realistic firing
  sound accompany the firing of the main gun. The main gun is also equipped
  with its own recoil motor, which retracts the barrel before slowly returning
  it to the standard position after firing. In addition, the firing action is
  also linked to the gearbox to accurately reproduce the hull recoil movement
  as well. The front-mounted machine gun also features its own firing sounds
  and muzzle flashes.
• About the Panzer IV
  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.
