Italeri 6555 1/35 M6 Gun Motor Carriage WC-55 - Hobby Summary

The Italeri 1/35 M6 Gun Motor Carriage WC-55 kit recreates a compact WW2 Dodge anti-tank vehicle for hobby modellers. Derived from the Dodge WC52 chassis, the M6 saw service from late 1942 through the end of the war and was prized for its mobility. The real vehicle could reach speeds near 90 km/h with its Dodge T-214 6-cylinder engine.

Initially fielded as an anti-tank solution, the 37 mm gun was later outclassed by heavier enemy armour, prompting use as an infantry support vehicle across multiple fronts. This plastic kit offers a practical project to examine those wartime adaptations up close.

Tips for Assembly and Showcasing

Sharp moulding detail helps the kit assemble into a faithful static model that displays well in collections. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for both single-vehicle showcases and small diorama scenes, and it responds well to basic weathering techniques.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit is complete as supplied, but modellers seeking more realism can add small brass or resin details, rigging wire or aftermarket stowage to enhance the build.
Use 1/35 scale figures to match the vehicle. That scale keeps proportions correct and makes composition for dioramas straightforward.
Prime small metal-like components and use thin paint layers to avoid losing detail. Consider dry brushing and wash techniques to lift panel lines and surface texture.
