1/35 M3A1 Scout Car

1/35 M3A1 Scout Car

Great on its own or as part of a diorama, the M3A1 scout car – latest subject in the 1/35 Military Miniature series – promises to be a versatile and valuable addition to any 1/35 modeler’s collection! 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.
