Detailed 1/48 Reproduction of the U.S. M8 'Greyhound'

The Tamiya 26541 reproduces the famed U.S. M8 Light Armored Car, nicknamed the "Greyhound." Introduced by Ford in 1942, the M8 served as a fast reconnaissance vehicle during World War II and earned its nickname from Allied forces for its speed and nimble profile despite modest armor.
