The Italeri 1/35 Kangaroo APC scale kit recreates a wartime adaptation that converted surplus M7 Priest HMCs into armoured personnel carriers. Developed in World War II, the Kangaroo concept provided a pragmatic way to move troops while using existing armoured chassis.
This kit conveys the straightforward modification of the M7 Priest chassis into a troop carrier, with parts to show various defensive fits used historically. The assembly options reflect the field practice of mounting available weapons such as .50 or .030 Browning guns and Boys anti-tank rifles when fitted.
Model builders will benefit from three decal schemes and a full colour instruction sheet to accurately finish the kit. The inclusion of gluable rubber tracks improves realism, and the model requires glue assembly for best results.
