Tamiya 89770 - 1/35 Scale Staghound Mk.I armoured car model kit  [89770]

Scale representation of the Staghound Mk.I armoured car

The British Armored Car Staghound Mk.I earned a distinct service record. Designed in the US as the Ford T17E1 4X4, it was powered by twin Chevrolet 270 motors and fitted with a 37mm turret gun plus three machine guns. Although the M8 Greyhound was preferred by US forces, the Staghound saw extensive use with British and Commonwealth troops in Italy from 1943 until the end of hostilities, and it remained in service after the war across regions including the Middle East and Central America.
