| A derivative of the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car Greyhound, the U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car rolled onto the battlefield in 1943. The rotating turret of the M8 was removed, allowing space for passenger seats, a commander’s table, radio sets and a ring mounted M2 heavy machine gun. The M20 was mainly deployed to the Tank Destroyer Unit, where its top speed of about 90km/h was taken advantage of in command, cargo, and reconnaissance duties. |

(ITEM 35228) The base of the U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car, the M8 Greyhound is also available in 1/35th scale! Ideal for reconnaissance missions, the M8 features an open-top rotating turret with built in gun, ammunition loading area, and sighting device. Just like the M20, the M8's linear construction, drivers seat and six-wheel suspension have all been authentically reproduced. Lifelike figure of commander gazing through binoculars is also included. |
