Bring authentic WWII armour to your RC collection with the Heng Long JP Henglong 1:16 PZKPFW.IV AUSF F2 (HLG3859-1U). This RTR model combines historical detail with modern control, featuring the TK7.0 multi-function control board for proportional drive, steering, turret traverse and gun elevation, plus realistic smoke and sound.

Fine-tune performance using programmable settings for recoil intensity, turning sensitivity, acceleration feel and high/low speed modes. Independent suspension and robust tracks handle mixed terrain confidently, while the durable steel-geared gearbox delivers consistent power.

Brief History

The Panzer IV Ausf. F2 introduced the long-barrelled 7.5cm KwK 40 L/43, boosting firepower from 1942 onwards while retaining the proven chassis and armour layout. Its versatility made it a mainstay of German armoured divisions and a key figure in mid-war engagements—heritage this RC model reflects through its blend of mechanical capability and scale realism.

1:16 Scale German PzKpfw. IV Ausf. F2 RC Tank

Step into the battlefield with the 1:16 scale German Panzer IV Ausf. F2 RC tank, a highly detailed and functionally rich model built for RC enthusiasts who value historical authenticity and performance. Powered by the latest TK7.0 multi-function control board (MFCB), this tank offers proportional control for acceleration, steering, turret traverse and cannon elevation or depression.

Customise your tank's responsiveness with programmable radio settings that allow you to adjust recoil intensity, turning sensitivity, acceleration feel and speed mode selection. Whether driving in high or low speed, the omnidirectional proportional control ensures fluid and intuitive handling across a range of terrains.

Engineered for durability and realism, this model includes independent suspension on all road wheels and robust tracks that confidently conquer varied ground. Tracks can also be upgraded to metal for even greater strength. A steel-geared gearbox ensures efficient and reliable power delivery during operation.

The tank features programmable track recoil that replicates cannon fire with three levels of rearward movement, along with a smoke system that emits a realistic glycerin-based exhaust effect. Four unique sound sets bring the tank to life with authentic engine sounds, including start-up, idle, acceleration, turret movement, elevation, machine gun fire, cannon blasts and shutdown. Volume is adjustable across five levels for a personalised experience.

Combat features include a 6mm airsoft BB firing system with a range of up to 10 metres. While not precision-based, it must be used responsibly with proper eye protection. Additionally, the tank is fully compatible with Heng Long's infrared battle system, allowing for multiplayer combat with up to 20 tanks. Each tank is disabled after five hits and automatically reactivates after ten seconds. LED lights indicate battle status, standby mode and hits taken during IR play.

With 320 degrees of turret rotation, 30 degrees of cannon elevation and RTR (Ready to Run) convenience, this Panzer IV F2 is perfect for collectors, history buffs and new hobbyists alike. Arriving factory-painted with cosmetic accessories for enhanced scale realism, it strikes a perfect balance between historical detail and practical RC enjoyment.

A Brief History of the Panzer IV Ausf. F2

The Panzer IV Ausführung F2 marked a significant upgrade in the Panzer IV series, introducing the powerful long-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43 gun in response to encounters with Soviet T-34 tanks. Deployed from 1942 onwards, the F2 version featured improved firepower while retaining the proven chassis and armour layout of earlier models. Its battlefield versatility made it a mainstay of German armoured divisions across multiple fronts. The Ausf. F2 bridged the gap between early war armoured vehicles and the more heavily armed tanks that would follow, making it a key figure in mid-war engagements. This RC model captures its unique role in armoured history with impressive mechanical and aesthetic accuracy.
