Fine-Scale Model of the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car 'Greyhound'

The Tamiya 26541 faithfully represents the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car, nicknamed the "Greyhound." Introduced by Ford in 1942, the M8 served in reconnaissance roles during World War II and was valued for its speed and manoeuvrability despite limited armour protection.

Detailing That Reflects Field Service

This finished 1/48 scale model depicts the M8s key features including the open turret, the 37mm main armament, a coaxial M1919A4 machine gun and an M2 heavy machine gun for AA defence. The paintwork and markings are applied to echo vehicles seen in European campaigns, with weathering to increase display authenticity.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Spin-cast parts for added weight
  • Painted and weathered finish
This item is supplied as a finished display model aimed at collectors, though experienced modellers can alter the paint and markings if desired.
Spin-cast components are heavier cast parts that give a solid feel and improved heft compared with lightweight injection-moulded pieces.
The scheme and decals reflect common markings used by M8 units in European theatres, applied to convey a believable wartime appearance rather than represent a single named vehicle.
