ITEM 56039 L:532mm
This is a 1/16 scale R/C model assembly kit of the German tank destroyer Jagdpanzer IV
Lang /70(V). It features a number of metal parts for a durable finish, plus a highly accurate
body and pre-assembled gearbox with two Type 380 motors. The Jagdpanzer IV Lang /
70(V) and its L/70 7.5cm gun quickly proved a fearsome opponent for allied armored
vehicles after its appearance near the end of WWII. It used the tried and tested Pz.Kpfw. IV
chassis with a smartly-sloped covered fighting compartment on top. It was dubbed “Lang”
(German for “long”) to differentiate it from a shorter L/48 gun variant, with /70 denoting
the caliber and (V), its manufacture by the company Vomag. 930 Jagdpanzer IV /70(V)
Langs were produced between August 1944 and March 1945, and despite the losing
German cause they fought in actions such as along the Ardennes front from December 1944,
their exceptional range and power troubling Allied forces until the last.
A Precision made aluminum gun barrel accurately reproduces the main gun which protrudes from
the distinctive “Saukopf” mantlet. When firing, main gun roars and muzzle flashes thanks to an LED
in the barrel. The barrel recoils after firing via the fighting compartment interior gearbox, and then
returns smoothly to the original position. Vehicle kickback is also recreated by the drive gearbox.
& Features 16˚ elevation and 24˚ traverse
ranges. Speed is controlled via transmitter
control sticks. Sight and slide cover move
simultaneously.
Includes stickers to recreate the 3D pattern of
the Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine coating.
