Historical Model of the M20 Utility Car

The Tamiya 1/48 M20 Armoured Utility Car reproduces the wartime light armoured vehicle in small scale, reflecting its use in command and scouting roles. The turretless, open-top design channels the M8 Greyhound heritage into a compact display piece that suits cabinets and dioramas.

Scale Accuracy and Surface Detail

The pre-built model features a six-wheel suspension and an accurately placed M2 heavy machine gun on a ring mount. A metal chassis gives the piece solid weight. Pad printed markings and included decals combine with weathering effects to produce a museum-style appearance in miniature.

Collecting and Presentation Notes

The Tamiya M20 works well with other 1/48 US vehicles and aircraft to create balanced displays. Measuring 104mm in length, it fits most display cases, and the cube packaging protects it during transit or storage.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 104mm
  • Material: Metal chassis with plastic components
  • Assembly: Pre-assembled
  • Finish: Weathered with pad printed decals
Collectors can expect accurate external detailing including suspension, weapon mount and period markings suitable for close-up display.
As a pre-assembled model, factory spare parts are limited, but aftermarket detail sets and decal sheets are commonly available for further customisation.
Dust with a soft brush and keep the model under low UV exposure; displaying in a case or on a small plinth reduces handling and helps preserve the finish.
