Tamiya 26541 1/48 M8 Light Armored Car Greyhound Display Model  [26541]

U.S. M8 Light Armored Car 'Greyhound' Accurate Scale Representation

The Tamiya 26541 kit recreates the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car, commonly called the "Greyhound." Built by Ford from 1942, the M8 served mainly as a reconnaissance vehicle in World War II, prized for its mobility despite light armor and often noted by Allied crews for its speed and handling.

Service History Reflected in Scale Detail

This finished 1/48 scale model reflects the M8's operational layout, showing the open-topped turret, the 37mm main gun, a coaxial M1919A4 machine gun and the M2 heavy machine gun used for anti-aircraft and support roles. The kit mirrors examples seen in European campaigns with period markings and a weathered paint style to enhance display realism.
