Tamiya 32518 - 1/48 Panzer IV J Detailed Military Kit  [32518]

1/48 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J by Tamiya: Compact Accuracy

The Tamiya 1/48 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J kit reproduces one of World War II's most widely used German tanks in compact scale. The model reflects the Panzer IV's reputation for reliability and practicality on the battlefield, presented here with careful attention to external form and fittings.

Late-War Features and Operational Notes

This Ausf.J variant is represented with its 75mm L/48 gun and the simplified construction changes introduced late in the war. The model notes the extra fuel tank that replaced the auxiliary engine, a modification that increased on-road range to around 320km in real vehicles.

Build Appeal and Display Qualities

Precision-molded parts convey the Panzer IV's horizontal armor lines and turret schurzen. Separate components for accessories such as scoops and wire cutters increase realism, while the die-cast chassis adds weight for a convincing display stance. Assembly-type tank treads simplify construction without sacrificing scale accuracy.
