Bringing the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J to the scale arena

The Tamiya 48218 RC Tank Kit captures the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J in 1/35 scale. The Pz.Kpfw.IV remained in active use late in WWII as production and tactical demands shifted, and the Ausf. J shows the practical changes crews relied on in defensive roles.

Authentic tracks and movement behaviour

This kit is designed for realistic running as well as display. Assembly-type track links clip together to reproduce natural sag, helping the model track smoothly even at low crawl speeds. The full motion set lets you move forward and reverse, execute pivots, and rotate the turret while raising and lowering the gun via the TTU-10 transmitter and MC-07 control unit.

Precision controls and motor layout

With two drive motors plus two turret control motors, the model gives reliable, controlled motion for realistic manoeuvres. The transmitter provides four speed settings so you can tailor performance to the scene. Remember to supply four AAA batteries for the model and four AAA for the transmitter; batteries are not supplied with the kit.

Tamiya 48218 gives scale enthusiasts a functional Panzer IV Ausf. J with convincing detail and motion. It suits modellers who want both an accurate build and practical RC operation.

Basic modelling tools like nippers, files, plastic cement, and paints are useful. A steady workspace and patience for track assembly make the build much easier.
The model is specified for use with the TTU-10 transmitter and MC-07 control unit. Check the kit contents to confirm which electronics are packaged or if they are provided separately.
Turret rotation and gun elevation are driven by dedicated motors and the control unit, giving smooth and controlled motion that closely matches the original vehicle's basic actions.
Mask movable parts before painting, use thin coats to preserve detail, and weather with washes or dry brushing for a more authentic battlefield look. Allow paint to cure fully before operating.
