Italeri 6551 - 1/35 Kangaroo Armoured Personnel Carrier on M7 Priest HMC Chassis Kit  [IT-6551S]

Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo Armoured Personnel Carrier Model Kit

This Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo Armoured Personnel Carrier kit presents a faithful representation of a practical wartime conversion. Conceived during World War II by Canadian General Guy Simonds to make better use of surplus vehicles, the Kangaroo repurposed M7 Priest artillery chassis to move infantry under armour protection.

The kit emphasises the Kangaroo's straightforward field conversion using the M7 Priest HMC underframe. Builders can replicate historical loadouts with optional fittings for machine guns and handheld anti-tank rifles, matching the varied armament seen in service when availability dictated choices like .50 or .030 Browning mounts and Boys rifles.

Scale accuracy and build notes

Modelers seeking realistic display pieces will appreciate the included super decals for three markings choices and a full colour instruction sheet. The kit uses new gluable rubber tracks to improve texture and fit, and assembly requires standard model glue for a solid finish.
