Developed during the war, the M-8 Greyhound armoured car, characterised by increased protection and heavier armament, represented a turning point for the US Army. The vehicle offered greater operational flexibility and could be used more effectively to support ground troops thanks to the 37mm gun installed in the turret. First used on the Italian front, from Monte Cassino to Anzio, it later took part in the D-Day operations in June 1944. Although the terrain in Normandy proved difficult and challenging in the initial phases of the operation, the M-8 was highly valued for its speed and versatility. It was used not only by the US Army but also by several Allied countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished model measures 14cm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITALERI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43877791629390,"sku":"IT-6364S","price":178.95,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/9672\/2510\/files\/489726.jpg?v=1781781042","url":"https:\/\/hobbyviking.com\/products\/1-35-m-8-greyhound-6364s","provider":"Fjernstyret.dk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
