Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car (1/35) 35234
This 1/35 scale Tamiya model kit recreates the U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car, a variant of the M8 Greyhound light armoured car used extensively during WWII. Introduced in 1943, the M20 replaced the Greyhound’s rotating turret with an open-top interior to create space for passenger seating, a commander’s table, and communications equipment. It served primarily in reconnaissance, command, and cargo roles, making full use of its top speed of approximately 90 km/h.
- Highly detailed open-top hull with authentic interior features including seats, folding commander’s table, and radio sets.
- Ring-mounted M2 heavy machine gun, bazooka, ammunition cartridges, and stowage accessories included.
- Two realistic crew figures – commander and driver – for added diorama potential.
- Optional marking schemes for historically accurate representations.
- Realistic moulded detail on suspension, wheels, and armour panels.
The M20 played an important role in U.S. Tank Destroyer Units and other reconnaissance formations, providing speed, mobility, and battlefield communication support. This detailed kit offers an excellent opportunity to model one of the versatile armoured vehicles of the Allied forces in WWII.
