Tamiya 1/35 US 6x6 M792 Gama Goat - Ambulance Truck #35342  [35342]

• That is a Gama Goat model, which illustrates the ambulance version of that unique 6-wheel drive U.S. army automobile. The Gama Goat was initially commissioned in 1966 as an off road, amphibious vehicle, a 6-wheel drive truck consisting of a 4-wheel tractor and a 2-wheel provider module. It employed an articulation joint between the two modules that permitted them to maneuver independently of one another, allowing goat-like nimble traversing of rough landscapes. The M792 ambulance truck variant featured extra seats that could be folded out to produce a bed the wounded, a heater to warm-up a corner provider module, and a canvas roof to safeguard its people from elements. The M792 was deployed in the Invasion of Grenada which took place in 1983.
