Italeri 6551 - 1/35 Kangaroo APC Conversion on M7 Priest HMC Chassis Model Kit  [IT-6551S]

Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo Personnel Carrier Scale Kit

This Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo personnel carrier model recreates a wartime improvisation that converted M7 Priest gun chassis into protected troop carriers. The concept, driven by frontline needs in World War II, gave infantry safer passage using available armoured vehicles.

The kit reflects the pragmatic nature of the Kangaroo conversion, showing how crews adapted the M7 Priest HMC for transport duties. It includes options to represent different defensive armament fits, corresponding to field variations using .50 or .030 Browning machine guns and Boys anti-tank rifles when they were available.

Detail, decals and assembly

Builders will value the three-sheet decal choices and the full-colour assembly guide that help achieve authentic finishes. The newer gluable rubber tracks provide better realism than typical plastic tracks, and glue assembly ensures a sturdy final model.
