Tamiya 32559 1/48 Scale US Staff Car Model Kit  [32559]

Faithful 1942 Staff Car Model Based on Archive Reference

Throughout the Second World War, many civilian saloons were pressed into service as staff cars, and the 1942 example became widely used. This model echoes the original vehicle, including the 4.9 metre length and the period 90 horsepower, 6-cylinder engine that characterised the design. It represents the transport used by senior personnel and pilots.

About This Tamiya Kit

The Tamiya 32559 kit is a detailed 1/48 scale reproduction derived from a preserved vehicle at the Minnesota Aviation Museum. A detailed photographic record supports the kit's accurate lines and fittings. The die-cast metal chassis adds tangible heft and improves the model's presence on the shelf.

The set contains a new driver figure to animate your scene, and it fits with other 1/48 Military Miniature Series kits such as the M4 Sherman and M26 Pershing. Pairing the staff car with 1/48 fighters like the P-51D or P-47 makes for convincing airfield vignettes.
