Product: 1:56 M8/M20 Greyhound
At the beginning of World War II, the U.S. Army had lightweight and
lightly armed vehicles, called "scout cars," for advanced reconnaissance
activities. Developed during the war, the M-8 Greyhound armored car,
characterized by increased protection and heavier armament, represented
a turning point for the American army. The vehicle provided greater
operational flexibility and could be more effectively used to support
ground troops thanks to the 37mm cannon installed in the turret. First
used on the Italian front, from Monte Cassino to Anzio, it later
participated in the D-Day operations in June 1944. Although the terrain
in Normandy proved challenging and demanding during the initial phases
of the operation, later on the M-8 was particularly appreciated for its
speed of movement and versatility in deployment. The M-20 version was
developed from the M8 version for Military Police duties and command vehicle roles.
