This is the 1/16th Scale Electric Powered, Radio Controlled,
Tamiya M4 Sherman Tank.
This Howitzer equipped version was developed as a fire support
vehicle that fired high explosion anti-tank shells
and greatly contributed to the Allied victory in WWII.

transmitter stick. Elevation, lowering and moving of the Howitzer
cannon with accompanying sounds are also controllable by the
transmitter.

and hull recoil action. Sound effects are faithfully reproduced by
