The onboard speaker produces realistic sound effects such as engine sounds, main gun firing, damage sounds and explosions. Main gun muzzle flash and hull recoil effect are also reproduced. Tamiya's unique infrared light system will allow you to have battles with two or more tanks. The model features a highly detailed upper hull with lower hull and idler wheels specially designed for R/C operation.
U.S. M4A3 Sherman
With nearly 50,000 units produced, the M4A3 Sherman is a byword for longevity, and this 75mm gun-toting tank was one of the keys to the Allied triumph in WWII. It was powered by a V8 gasoline engine and featured a welded hull. The Sherman can roughly be divided into early (from June 1942) and late (from February 1944) production variants, the late production Shermans being recognizable by their single-piece frontal armor, commander's cupola and loader's hatch, plus wet ammo storage. They served both in Europe after the Normandy landings, and in the Pacific Theater as the Allies ground toward victory.
