    Description

    The Rubicon Models M8 Greyhound / M20 Scout Car is a 1/56th plastic kit with 53 parts on 2 sprues. It can be built as either an M8 Greyhound or an M20 Scout Car, and includes multiple equipment options for hatches, MG mount, and stowage.

    The M8 entered service with the Allies from 1943, while the M20 was mainly used as a command and reconnaissance vehicle. This makes the kit a good fit for fast reconnaissance and security elements of Allied armies.

    Product details

    Background & context

    The M8 Greyhound entered Allied service in 1943, serving as a light armored reconnaissance vehicle for the US Cavalry. It saw its first action in Italy and was later used in Europe and the Far East, including Okinawa and the Philippines. The M20 Scout Car utilized the Greyhound chassis, but replaced the turret with an open-topped body and a ring mount for a .50-cal machine gun. In this role, it primarily served as a command, radio, and advanced reconnaissance vehicle.

    On the tabletop

    The kit builds either the M8 Greyhound with its turret or the open M20 for American cavalry reconnaissance from 1943. The M8 scouts ahead of the force, and its light gun deals with light vehicles and, in the Pacific, with Japanese tanks as well. The M20, with a heavy machine gun on its ring mount, serves as a command vehicle, scout or carrier. On the M8 you fit the machine gun at the rear or on a ring, and you choose between a toolbox and a mine rack.
