Explore the Historical Detail of the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car 'Greyhound'

The Tamiya 26541 model represents the iconic U.S. M8 Light Armored Car, famously known as the "Greyhound." Originally produced by Ford in 1942, this vehicle played a crucial role in World War II, serving as a reconnaissance asset for American forces. Its nickname, "Greyhound," was bestowed by British troops due to its agility and speed, despite its relatively thin armor.

It features the open-top turret, a 37mm cannon, a coaxial M1919A4 machine gun, and the formidable M2 heavy machine gun for anti-aircraft defense.
