M8/M20 Greyhound Scout Car

Bolt Action: M8/M20 Greyhound Scout Car

The M8 Greyhound was a popular armored car that served American and British troops well during the war. With a crew of four soldiers operating a 37mm cannon and able to rely on machine guns as secondary weapons, including for anti-aircraft defense, the M8 proved to be a solid scout car. Its speed, hence the British Greyhound name, allowed it to reach up to 55 miles per hour. The armor was sufficient to protect the crew from small arms fire, with speed being its greatest protection. They were usually deployed in pairs to scout enemy lines, then quickly retreat and provide each other with cover fire.

With this set, you can build either the M8 with its familiar turret and 37mm cannon, or the M20 armored car.
