Italeri 6551 - 1/35 Kangaroo Armoured Carrier Kit on M7 Priest HMC Chassis  [IT-6551S]

Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo Armoured Carrier Model

The Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo armoured carrier captures a clever World War II field adaptation that turned M7 Priest HMCs into troop transports. This conversion was a practical solution to get infantry into battle under armour protection using existing vehicles.

The kit highlights the Kangaroo conversion carried out on the M7 Priest chassis, allowing builders to reproduce common wartime fits. It gives options for typical defensive weapons used in the field, reflecting mounts for .50 or .030 Browning machine guns and the occasional use of Boys anti-tank rifles.

Build features and finish

Included are three decal schemes and a full colour instruction sheet to guide painting and marking. The kit features new gluable rubber tracks for a more convincing track profile, and the model is assembled using glue for a durable result.
