ITEM# 35363

Description
This is a scale model replica of the M3A1 Scout Car. It promises
to be a great stand-alone model or make for an essential diorama
piece in a bigger modeling project. Around 21,000 of the actual
car were built, a vital cog in the setup of U.S. forces and those

Allies (Britain, Soviet Union, Free France, China and more) who
received it under ?lend-lease.? Lightly protected with mainly
6.4mm armor, with a top road speed of 80km/h, it had one 12.7mm
and two 7.62mm machine guns, could seat six in addition to a
driver and commander, and was often deployed in recon and command

car roles, in North Africa, Sicily, and on the Eastern Front.
