1/48 US M20 Armored Utility Car

Size/Weight: 29.0 x 19.0 x 5.5 cm / 270g

The M20 armored utility car was a turretless variation of the M8 Greyhound armored car. With their great speed and maneuverability, the M8 and M20 Light Armored Cars were used during WWII as escort and reconnaissance vehicles. The M8 was armed with a 37mm M6 anti-tank gun in a fully rotating turret, also mounting the formidable M2 .50 cal machine and .30 cal machine gun. The turretless M20 mounted the M2 .50 cal machine gun in a ring mount. The M20 and M8 would go on to serve with many armies around the world long after the end of WWII.

Tamiya's M20 kit features crisp detail, great fit, and a die-cast chassis. Markings are included for two vehicles, and two crew figures are included. Rudimentary hull interior detail is included.

1/72 Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D

Size/Weight: 16.2 x 25.8 x 4.9 cm / 200g Dragon tried to produce the ultimate miniature of Sd.Kfz.251 with authentic details in 1/72 scale. This time, its late model Ausf.D. Many small parts decorated around the driver's & passenger compartments which usually processed by moldings are represented by the separate tiny injection plastic parts. The width and diameter of the small parts like earth tools and LMG are less than 1 milimeter! A great care will be required when cutting off those delicate parts from sprue, cementing them & dry-brushing. Contrary, interleaved wheels are molded in one group for ease of assembling. Tracks are belt type and made of soft DS material. One brass PE for the MG shield(alternative) is provided, too. No figure included. rm 70
