Italeri 6364 - 1/35 M8 Greyhound: Classic recon vehicle in scale

The Italeri 6364 - 1/35 M8 Greyhound represents the iconic WWII reconnaissance car used by US formations and adopted by Free French units. The kit gives hobbyists a faithful base to build a historically correct vehicle model.

Design highlights and battlefield use

The Greyhound combined speed and light protection to perform scouting missions effectively. Its armour and armament were not suited for head-on fights with heavier enemy tanks, and the open-style turret offered limited shielding for the crew. Still, its mobility made it valuable in forward screening roles and it saw service beyond the war in several European forces.

Scale modelling benefits

At 1/35 scale the kit balances size and detail, allowing for accurate surface detailing, painting and weathering. It is well suited to display on a stand or as part of a WWII vehicle grouping for collectors.
