The 6 wheeled vehicle's light weight made it a maneuverable vehicle. Development of the M8 began in 1941 and it was originally planned for armor support, but was later shifted to reconnaissance. The Ford company developed a prototype in June, 1942. The Greyhound had a Hercules JXD rear mounted, water cooled engine, capable of generating 110 HP at 3000 r.p.m. The transmission had a 4 speed forward, 1 speed reverse gearbox. The six wheel configuration and engine made the Greyhound a stable vehicle with a maximum speed of 88.5 km/h and range of 563 km. The steel plated armor on the body ranged from 19mm to 32mm thick, the open topped turret had 19mm thick armor. Review: Great quality - Its tamiya. You know its good. I have built their models since 1977 Review: Authenticity! - This was my first model I have built since my teenage years. That was 40 plus years ago. I chose this model because my father was a non-commissioned officer in the 29th Division, Calvary Reconnaissance Troop. He was a commander of a M8. It was a fun model to build. A little challenging with the numerous small parts. Very detailed and the finished product looks fantastic. Would have been great if it had decals for the 29th Division. ## Features - Realistic chassis undersurface and suspension - Includes a lifelike crew figure - 1/35 Scale Armor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WN6QN0 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Batteries are Included | No | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | American Light Armor M8 Greyhound | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 110 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Develop fine motor skills, patience, and historical knowledge | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344352289, 04950344995684 | | Included Components | Chassis, Suspension, Crew Figure, Plastic Model Kit | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 5.62 x 2.84 x 2.54 inches | | Item Type Name | hobby model airplane building kits | | Item Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | MMD Holdings, LLC | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 180.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 300035228 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Speed | 88.5 Kilometers per Hour | | Model Name | TAM35228 | | Model Number | TM35228 | | Model Year | 1942 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Scale | 1:35 Scale | | Set Name | 1/35 US M8 GREYHOUND | | Size | 11.42 x 7.48 x 2.76 inches | | Theme | Military | | Toy Vehicle Form | Car | | UPC | 611517840029 | ## Images ![Tamiya Models M8 Greyhound Armored Car - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R2zIh5E1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by L***D on November 13, 2025* Its tamiya.
