The Italeri 1/35 scale model of the M6 Gun Motor Carriage WC-55 offers military enthusiasts and model builders a chance to recreate a piece of World War II history. Based on the iconic Dodge WC52 frame, this model replicates the anti-tank vehicle used by the United States Army from late 1942 through the end of the war. Known for its agility, the real M6 could reach speeds of up to 90 km/h thanks to its Dodge T-214 6-cylinder engine.

Originally designed as an anti-tank vehicle, the M6 faced challenges when its 37 mm gun proved less effective against the advanced armor of German tanks. This led to its adaptation as an infantry support vehicle in various theaters, including the Mediterranean, European, and Pacific fronts. For modelers, this kit presents an opportunity to delve into the strategic evolution of military vehicles during the war.
