The Tamiya US Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 model kit offers a detailed 1:48 scale replica of the M8, a WWII-era artillery vehicle. Measuring 92mm in length and 48mm in width, the model is meticulously designed based on extensive research, capturing the M8's unique, tall profile and interior features.

The kit accurately recreates the turret details, including sights, gun breech, and covered howitzer, while the suspension system is realistically designed with easy-to-build one-piece tracks. It also includes a commander figure and two marking options for enhanced authenticity.

Originally developed during WWII, the M8 was built on the M5 light tank chassis with an open turret, designed for mobility and versatility. Armed with a 75mm M3 howitzer, it could fire anti-tank, smoke, and standard shells. Produced between 1942 and 1944, the M8 served in key WWII theatres such as Italy, Western Europe, and the Pacific.

This model kit is perfect for enthusiasts of military history and model building alike.

Suitable for ages 14 and older.
