Small Scale, Big Character: Tamiya M4A3 Sherman

Enjoy a compact but faithful take on the U.S. Medium Tank M4A3 with Tamiya's 1/35 RC kit. The M4A3's historical Ford GAA V8 association and rugged layout are represented here in miniature, giving modellers a satisfying project that also runs under radio control.

Realistic Features and Motion

Careful moulding reproduces authentic weld lines and track sag, while the model supports turret rotation and barrel elevation to emulate real tank movement. RC functions are managed by the MC-07 control unit in tandem with the TTU-10 transmitter.

Tips for an Accurate Finish

Assembly type tracks simplify construction without sacrificing appearance. Work methodically through the instructions, prep parts for paint, and use appropriate adhesives and finishing materials to achieve a convincing result.

Responsive Controls and Drive Options

The kit offers four selectable speeds for different running styles, and its two drive motors plus two turret motors provide the torque and control needed for smooth operation across tight turns and reverse drive.

This Tamiya M4A3 Sherman kit is ideal for hobbyists who enjoy accurate scale detail combined with practical RC operation, giving a rewarding build and running experience.
