1/48 US M20 Armored Utility Car

Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M20 armored utility car was a turretless variation of the M8 Greyhound armored car. With their great speed and maneuverability, the M8 and M20 Light Armored Cars were used during WWII as escort and reconnaissance vehicles. The M8 was armed with a 37mm M6 anti-tank gun in a fully rotating turret, also mounting the formidable M2 .50 cal machine and .30 cal machine gun. The turretless M20 mounted the M2 .50 cal machine gun in a ring mount. The M20 and M8 would go on to serve with many armies around the world long after the end of WWII.

Tamiya’s M20 kit features crisp detail, great fit, and a die-cast chassis. Markings are included for two vehicles, and two crew figures are included. Rudimentary hull interior detail is included.
