The vehicle, developed by Ford based on the requirements of the US military, was officially adopted in May 1942. It was to be deployed as the main equipment of the cavalry reconnaissance battalions. The vehicle had a 6x6 mechanism undercarriage and a welded monocoque body. It was equipped with a straight 6-cylinder gasoline engine that produced 110 horsepower at the rear. It boasted a top speed of 90 km\/h and exhibited high mobility due to its 6-wheel drive. In addition, it was equipped with a rotating turret as a permanent mount, and the main gun was a 37 mm tank gun. Based on the M8, the M20 multi-purpose armored vehicle was created by removing the turret, adding an open-top cabin, and modifying it to carry six soldiers. More than 8,000 M8s and over 3,700 M20s were produced, and they saw action on various fronts. They were affectionately known as the Greyhound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【About the Model】\u003cbr\u003eThis model is a 1\/72 scale plastic model assembly kit of the American wheeled armored vehicle M8\/M20. The finished length is 65mm, a convenient size unique to the 1\/72 scale. It is a kit that even beginner modelers can easily tackle. The model can be assembled as either the M8 type with a turret or the M20 with an open-top body. The lower part of the hull is a single piece, and the 6-wheel drive shafts and suspension are reproduced three-dimensionally with some separate parts. In addition, the interior, which can be seen from the open top, is reproduced with a floor part that includes the driver's seat and other details as one piece. Details such as hatches are also reproduced on the upper part of the hull. You can choose to assemble either the M8 version with a turret or the open-top M20 version. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: ITALERI (Platz)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: IT7087\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Product Specifications: Features\u003cbr\u003e●Reproduces an American wheeled armored vehicle in 1\/72 scale\u003cbr\u003e●Can be assembled as either the M8 with a turret or the open-top M20\u003cbr\u003e●The lower part of the vehicle is a single piece, while the 6-wheel drive drive shafts and suspension are partially separate parts for a three-dimensional reproduction\u003cbr\u003e●The open-top interior allows you to see inside, and floor parts are provided that reproduce the driver's seat and other parts as a single piece\u003cbr\u003e●Finished length 65mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Size: Finished product size: 65mm in length\u003cbr\u003ePackage size: 258 x 162 x 38mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/72\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 8001283070874\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n ・Some items are available in limited quantities, so please forgive us if they are out of stock. \u003cbr\u003e・Release dates, prices, product names, etc. may change without notice.
