Italeri 6364 - 1/35 M8 Greyhound: Compact WWII scout car model

The Italeri 6364 - 1/35 M8 Greyhound reproduces the compact silhouette of the WWII scout car used by American units and by Free French formations. The kit offers clear panel lines and a faithful overall shape for modellers focused on scale accuracy.

Operational history and design notes

The Greyhound earned a reputation for reconnaissance thanks to its speed and range. It traded heavy protection for agility, meaning it performed poorly in confrontations with heavier armour, and the exposed turret left crew members vulnerable. After the war, surplus vehicles served in a number of national forces across Europe.

Why builders choose this kit

This 1/35 scale model fits easily into mixed vehicle displays and themed dioramas. Its size supports fine detailing work and allows for realistic paint schemes and weathering to bring out the vehicle's operational character.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/35
  • Material - Injection moulded plastic
  • Assembly - Glue required
  • Paint - Excluded
Build time depends on experience and finishing choices. A basic straight build can take several evenings, while a fully painted and weathered display model may take multiple weekends.
Yes, many modellers add aftermarket brass or resin parts for extra detail. Ensure parts are designed for 1/35 scale and check fit before committing with glue.
Enamel and acrylic hobby paints both produce good results. Start with a primer, then apply base colours and subtle weathering layers to recreate battlefield grime and fading.
