Tamiya 32518 - 1/48 Panzer IV J Scale Modellers Kit  [32518]

Miniature Panzer IV Ausf.J from Tamiya in 1/48

The Tamiya 1/48 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J kit offers a faithful small-scale rendition of the Panzer IV, capturing the vehicle's utilitarian lines and battlefield presence in a size that is easy to display and transport.

Design Changes on the Ausf.J Explained

The Ausf.J is the final production form, fitted with a 75mm L/48 gun and simplified construction to speed manufacture. This version also swapped the auxiliary engine for an extra fuel tank, extending the vehicle's on-road range to about 320km.

Model Features and Build Notes

Fine moulding reproduces the Panzer IV's armor plates and turret schurzen. Small separate fittings such as scoops and wire cutters enhance authenticity. The kit uses a die-cast chassis for heft and assembly-style tracks that ease the build while preserving a realistic profile.
