Tamiya 35228 U.S. M8 Light Armored Car "Greyhound" 1/35 – Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya 35228 model features the American light armored reconnaissance car M8 Greyhound in precise 1/35 scale. It is an exceptionally detailed model kit from the renowned Tamiya brand, allowing you to recreate the legendary vehicle used by the United States Army during World War II. The M8 Greyhound was designed in 1941 and, from 1943, was widely used by the Allies on European and North African fronts. Known for its mobility, light weight, and excellent maneuverability—with speeds reaching up to 88 km/h—the Greyhound was an ideal reconnaissance vehicle. Its six wheels, 4-wheel drive, and light armor gave it surprising capabilities and it was often used as a command vehicle.

In this set you will find perfectly fitting plastic parts made of high-quality plastic, characteristic for Tamiya models. The set also includes clear parts to represent windows, a vivid water-slide decal sheet allowing the vehicle to be decorated in historical versions, and a detailed assembly instruction in English. Once assembled, the model measures 143 mm in length, representing the real vehicle's silhouette in 1/35 scale. The manufacturer ensured great detail accuracy, recreating a realistic suspension system, rotating turret with armament, and numerous exterior equipment elements, making this kit an excellent base both for beginners and advanced military modeling enthusiasts.
