Scale Armour Kit - Tamiya 56026 - 1/16 RC German Panzer IV Ausf.J Tank Kit  [56026]

A Hands-On 1/16 Scale Panzer IV Build

The Tamiya 56026 - 1/16 RC German Panzer IV Ausf.J is a detailed RC kit that brings the Panzerkampfwagen IV to life for scale enthusiasts. The model faithfully reproduces signature elements like the stepped hull and the 7.5cm KwK 40 L48 gun so builders can study authentic lines and proportions.

Durable Chassis and Control Detail

This Panzer IV Ausf.J uses a substantial metal chassis for realistic weight and strength. A metal plate under the hull mirrors the real vehicle's construction. The DMD control unit gives fine control over drive and turret functions while pre-recorded Maybach V12 engine tones add depth to running sessions.

Simulated Firing and Combat Features

The main gun is fitted with an LED muzzle flash and the firing motion is supported by a separate recoil motor to recreate barrel kick. The forward machine gun operates with synchronized light and sound. For match play, the model accepts the optional ITEM 53447 Battle System for organised tank battles.

Role of the Ausf.J During WWII

The Ausf.J variant arrived in 1944 and became known for dependability and adaptable service. Later-production changes simplified certain components while improving protection and range. Crews often relied on manual turret operation and extra fuel for extended operations alongside tanks like the Panther and King Tiger.

Tamiya 56026 Panzer IV Ausf.J is aimed at kit builders and collectors who value precise detail and working features. It works well as a display model and can be set up for friendly battle sessions with the optional system.
