Iconic M4A3 Sherman Rendered in 1/35 Scale

The Tamiya 48212 1/35 R/C U.S. M4A3 Sherman recreates a historic battlefield workhorse with careful attention to surface detail and silhouette. Celebrated for its rugged layout in wartime service, this Sherman replica reproduces defining elements like the 105mm howitzer so modelers can display or run an authentic-looking vehicle.

Responsive 2.4GHz Radio Handling

Built around a modern 2.4GHz control system, the model removes crystal swapping and keeps interference to a minimum. The radio lets you manage forward and reverse motion, tight turns, full turret rotation and gun elevation smoothly, while preassembled gearboxes and type 130 motors give convincing drive characteristics for driving sessions.

Engaging Infrared Battle and Effects

This Sherman includes an infrared battle system to add interaction during skirmishes. The MC-06 Control Unit simulates engine trouble, speed loss and gun depression when hit, while LED muzzle flash and rear indicators give visual cues. Optional extras such as a land mine simulation unit are compatible for deeper scenarios.
