Tamiya 89770 - 1/35 Staghound Mk.I Armoured Car kit for collectors and modellers  [89770]

Scale recreation of the Staghound Mk.I armoured car

The British Armored Car Staghound Mk.I occupies a distinct role in wartime vehicle history. Developed in the United States as the Ford T17E1 4X4, it used twin Chevrolet 270 engines and mounted a 37mm gun in a turret with three machine guns. While the US Army selected the lighter M8 Greyhound, British and Commonwealth forces deployed the Staghound widely, particularly in Italy from 1943 to 1945, and it continued in service after the war in areas including the Middle East and Central America.

What this Tamiya 1/35 kit captures

This Tamiya 1/35 scale kit reproduces the Staghound Mk.I's angled hull and practical layout. Model builders will value the detailed leaf spring suspension and the option to pose side and turret hatches open to reveal interior elements such as the turret basket and radio fittings. The kit also supplies accessories like canvas rolls, jerry cans, and a roof-mounted machine gun for added authenticity.

Enhance Your Diorama with Added Realism

Photo-etched components are included to lift fine detail, and five marking schemes let you personalise the finished vehicle. Three Tamiya British infantry figures come in the box, giving an immediate base for diorama scenes. This kit delivers a satisfying build and a convincing display model for military vehicle enthusiasts.
