1:48 US Modern 4x4 Utility Vehicle - Cargo Type Humvee
Item #32563

DESCRIPTION
This model is the first 1/48 U.S 4x4 utility vehicle Tamiya has
produced in the 1/48 scale military miniature series. Developed
in the late 1970s, the US military released the U.S 4x4 utility
vehicle to replace the M151 MUTT and M561 in missions. This 4x4
utility vehicle allowed the U.S military to perform various
missions with one car. The vehicle was known for its off road
mobility and dependability. The U.S 4x4 vehicle was versatile
because of its lightweight and exceptional performance. The
aluminum body and strong steel frame allowed it to take on roles
such as cargo/troop transport, ambulance, and armament carrier.
The vehicle included a 4-wheel independent suspension, 4WD
system, and a 150hp V8 diesel engine that allowed it to reach top
speeds of 105km/h. The most popular version of this vehicle was
the "Cargo Type", which included a large rear deck area to hold
1,100kg of cargo or eight infantrymen. These vehicles first were
used in Panama in 1989 and since have been used in the 1991 Gulf
War.
