Tamiya 35234 U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car (1/35)

The Tamiya 35234 U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car 1/35 scale model is a carefully crafted plastic assembly kit that allows any enthusiast of historic military vehicles to recreate a highly significant vehicle from World War II. The M20 Armored Utility Car was a lightly armored wheeled car produced by the USA between 1943-1945 and was widely utilized during the final stages of World War II across many battle theaters.

The M20 served as a command, reconnaissance, and high-ranking officer transport vehicle, as well as an ambulance. It was most commonly seen on the Western Front in France, Belgium, and Germany, mainly in service with the United States Army and later with Allied forces. The vehicle's design was directly derived from the M8 Greyhound, but without the turret and gun, thus increasing interior space and practicality for support and command tasks.
