Replicating an M8 6x6 armored car employed during World War II, this 1/72 scale die-cast model features an opened-top metal turret with a metal 37mm M6 gun and a coaxially mounted .30-caliber M1919 machine gun; a ring-mounted .50-caliber M2 machine gun; separately applied plastic detail parts; realistic wheels with treaded tires; the authentic markings of A Troop, 25th Mechanized Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, 4th Armored Division; and more. It measures 2¾" long and includes a removable plastic display base with a clear cover. "The first armored fighting vehicle from Hobby Master is executed with the quality and accuracy you've come to expect from a brand you love," Sarah Broadwater, marketing manager for Historic Sales, told TDmonthly. Launch date: March 2009.
