The M8 Greyhound was originally designed to replace the US military's portee gun in an anti-tank role, but was quickly repurposed once it was realised that its performance against German armour was lacking. It found use as a popular and successful armoured car that served American and British armies well throughout the war. Its crew of four served a 37mm gun, a co-axial .30 cal, the more aggressive crews adding a .50 cal on the roof for anti aircraft and local defence. It was very fast – hence its British name of Greyhound – capable of 55mph on good roads, but was known to bog down in mud. Its armour was enough to shrug off small arms fire, and these vehicles were best used in pairs to scout out enemy lines, supporting each other in a leap-frog fashion on the advance or covering a retreat. Replacing the armoured turret for a fixed, open fighting compartment, the M20 scout car was used primarily as a command vehicle, sacrificing the turrets main gun in favour of extra radio capability, it also carried a portable Bazooka for extra anti-armour firepower. Contains: 1/56th scale hard plastic US M8 or M20 armoured car Instruction leaflet Waterslide decal sheet Model supplied unassembled and unpainted

Came shipped in another box, no damage from Amazon. Overall pretty pleased Amazon shipped it so well to be honest. Bought others that came in a plastic bag and box was smashed.

The product is great but Amazon shipped the product in a terrible way so items box was completely destroyed I’m lucky the product was fine.

The kit was mostly good, but has a couple minor problems. On the who-really-cares side of things the interior stowage should be able to be flipped between the m8 and m20, but on the forget-this-worthless-kit I couldn't get the gun barrel through the mantlet to the appropriate fitting, and in my multiple attempts to do so it broke the barrel in two places. There is zero reason why that small part should have caused such a problem with no noticeable flash or any other obvious issues.

This model kit is a product from a joint venture that Warlord Games and Italeria Models have made for the purpose of manufacturing quality 1/56 scale military vehicle kits from the World War II era. It has been a win/win situation for the two companies; Warlord can market more economical vehicles for its Bolt Action game and Italeria has been able to expand sales into a new scale for subject matter that is usually dominated by either 1/76 or 1/35 scales.The kit itself is superb. Parts fit together cleanly, instructions were clear and there was there was no extra flash on any of the sprues . I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively high level of interior detail so you would assume a slam-dunk five pointer review, right?...not necessarily.I get kits in this scale for use in gaming - gaming with my friends, sons, grandsons, and nephews. While this kit makes a nice display piece, it doesn't bear up under table-top game play - even a moderate amount. With a traditional styrene model kit I have found it far too easy to snap off wheels, antennae, gun barrels - ANY bit that extends out from the hull - during the frequent handling that comes about with gaming. For that reason I prefer the more durable cast resin/metal kits that Warlord also manufactures. The resin kits also take less assembly time which also appeals to me as my prime goal is game-play rather than modeling.
