Tamiya M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer Mechanical Steering RC Tank 1/16 Scale - 56048

Tamiya's 56048 is a 1/16 scale electric RC tank recreating the M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer, one of the close-support variants of the most widely used Allied tank of the Second World War. Built around Tamiya's mechanical steering system, this large-scale model uses clutch-and-brake turning rather than independent motor control, giving it a distinct driving character suited to slow, realistic operation over textured terrain. At 1/16 scale, the Sherman makes a substantial model with room for accurate external detail, and it sits within Tamiya's established range of full-function WWII RC tanks.

Key Features

• 1/16 scale recreation of the M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer variant, distinguishable by its short-barrel howitzer in place of the standard 75mm gun
• Mechanical steering system uses clutch and brake to turn — a different driving experience from twin-motor electric RC tanks
• Electric power provides quiet, controllable operation well suited to indoor use and slow-speed display running
• Large 1/16 scale construction allows for a high level of external surface detail on the hull and running gear
• Part of Tamiya's long-running 1/16 scale RC tank series, style code TAM56048, designed for assembly before use
