Panzer IV Ausf G Winter Metal Edition
The Panzer IV Ausf G Winter Metal Edition stands as an exceptional homage to one of World War II's most iconic tanks. This model is a meticulously crafted replica, featuring a solid metal lower hull with a robust stamped design exceeding 2mm in thickness, ensuring both durability and authenticity. Designed for user convenience, it boasts an easy-open latch system for swift access to its interior.
The upper hull has been meticulously reworked to enhance detail and structural integrity, complete with functional metal hatches that contribute to its realism. The updated metal turret is equally impressive, featuring operational hatches on either side, a robust metal cupola, and a reinforced mantlet that reflects the tank's historical design heritage.
Available in both airsoft BB and infrared variants, this model comes ready-to-run (RTR) straight out of the box. Its striking winter paint scheme evokes the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front, where the Panzer IV played a pivotal role in key battles. Originally developed in the late 1930s as an infantry support vehicle, the Panzer IV underwent significant evolution to counter increasingly powerful enemy armor, particularly during critical engagements like Kursk and Stalingrad. The Ausf G variant, introduced in 1942, featured enhanced armor protection and a formidable 75mm gun, cementing its status as a formidable adversary on the battlefield.
For modern enthusiasts, this model seamlessly combines historical significance with cutting-edge technology. It offers track recoil during firing (with the option to disable this feature), while the infrared version includes barrel recoil and an LED flasher at the end of the barrel for added authenticity. Equipped with steel gearboxes (3:1, Mid/Low, 48mm), an accessory kit, a 2000mAh NIMH battery, and a 2.4 GHz transmitter, the Panzer IV Ausf G Winter Metal Edition promises an immersive experience for collectors and hobbyists alike.
Moreover, utilizing our advanced V3 electronics, this model is compatible with a diverse range of 6-channel PWM-capable hobby-grade transmitters and receivers, allowing for extensive customization. Simply follow the setup instructions in the manual to get started. Popular brands such as Spektrum (ensure a 5V receiver), TBS Crossfire, FRSky, FlySky, Futaba, and JR have been reported to work flawlessly with minimal adjustments required.
