Scale Study of Greyhound Recon Vehicles

The Tamiya 89691 - 1/48 Scale Greyhound Armored Car with Assault Infantry presents a faithful small-scale interpretation of the wartime scout car and its crew. The kit is designed to deliver clear component detail that aids accurate assembly and historical display.
