Tamiya 32559 1/48 U.S. Military Staff Car Kit  [32559]

Period Accurate 1942 Staff Car Reproduction

In World War II the U.S. often adapted civilian sedans as staff cars, and the 1942 model was a common choice. This kit reflects the sedan's character, noting its 4.9 meter overall length and the original 90 horsepower, 6-cylinder engine that powered many wartime vehicles. The result is a faithful nod to the vehicle used by officers and aircrew during the period.

Kit Construction and Reference Sources

The Tamiya 32559 model is a carefully engineered 1/48 scale kit developed from study of the example at the Minnesota Aviation Museum. Extensive reference photos were used to replicate body lines and details. A die-cast metal chassis gives the finished build a convincing weight and solidity.

The kit ships with a new driver figure to add life to your display. It integrates well with other entries in the 1/48 Military Miniature Series, such as the M4 Sherman and M26 Pershing tanks, and sits naturally alongside fighter models like the P-51D and P-47 for airfield dioramas.
