The Italeri Model Kit of the M-8 Greyhound (1:35 scale) allows model enthusiasts to recreate a significant World War II armored car. Originally intended as a scout car, the Army's M-8 transformed into a potent reconnaissance vehicle with more armor and a 37mm weapon in the turret that supported ground forces.
Initially used on the Italian front, the M-8 Greyhound was instrumental in significant engagements such as Monte Cassino and Anzio. It took part in the D-Day operations in June 1944, where its agility and adaptability were crucial in the difficult terrain of Normandy.
The vehicle was widely used by the U.S. Army and became an essential asset for several Allied forces. Its adaptability made it a key player in numerous important WWII campaigns.
With real parts and decals, this model kit provides a comprehensive depiction of the M-8, allowing military history fans and collectors to create and appreciate a significant piece of WWII history.
