Tamiya RC 1/35 Panzer IV Tank

Hello and welcome to my channel...

I am a RC Tank enthusiast and pretty much anything related to Radio Control. I try and make my RC tanks as real as possible with the tips and tricks i have picked up from around the web.

Tamiya RC 1/35 Panzer IV Tank

Post by Steve »

Alrighty guys,

I brought this as I thought it would be best of both worlds, a fully functional RC tank plus a awesome scale looking Panzer IV in 1/35

So far I have put the basic model together. I am waiting on some suspension parts to make them workable plus metal tracks. I will post some more videos and pics as they come about :)

Cheers
Steve

Awesome Steve, look forward to seeing more of that. Looks like a great kit.

Always wanted a 1/16 tamiya tank, but me being me I don't do things by halves and after adding all the options it would have cost well over £1000 and I couldn't justify that (at the moment :D ) I've spent a ridiculous amount of money of this hobby already :lol:

So I settled for a vs tank in Abrams guise, it's one of the better quality pre built tanks, I've had it for a few years now and it's great fun. Ill get some pics and a video when I get chance.

They are good tanks, built in the marui factory i believe, mines one of the older bb firing ones, not the newer IR type.

Ill have to get a vid of it on the go :D

I would love to install a Clark TK22 board for much better sound and full proportional control :)
