Tamiya 1/48 M20 Armored Utility Car - Historical Overview

The Tamiya 1/48 M20 Armored Utility Car is a finely modelled scale replica that recreates the versatile utility vehicle used throughout World War II. Valued for its speed, the M20 performed command, transport and reconnaissance duties. The model captures the low-profile, open-top look of the turretless M8 Greyhound and offers a faithful small-scale interpretation for display and study.

Miniature Detail and Construction

This pre-assembled release features a detailed 6-wheel suspension and a faithful M2 heavy machine gun on a ring mount. The metal chassis provides authentic heft and balance. High-quality pad printed markings and precise decals give a clean finish, while applied weathering adds realistic wear and depth.

Display and Collection Appeal

The Tamiya M20 pairs well with other 1/48 scale U.S. vehicles and aircraft to form a cohesive display. At a compact 104mm length it fits into most shelving arrangements, and the cube-style packaging keeps the model protected during storage and transport.

The model reproduces the M20's six-wheel arrangement and suspension geometry closely for its scale, offering visible detail that suits display and close inspection.
Yes, the pre-assembled finish accepts gentle paint touches and additional weathering; use hobby-grade paints and test small areas to avoid damaging pad printed markings.
The metal chassis gives the model durable weight for handling and display, but handle by the lower chassis and avoid rubbing painted surfaces to preserve the finish.
