Overview

The M3A1 was a rugged and reliable American 4×4 armoured scout car that saw service across the globe during World War II. Under the “Lend-Lease” program, over 3,000 of these versatile vehicles were supplied to the Soviet Union. The Red Army put them to extensive use in reconnaissance, command car, and even light artillery towing roles, valuing their mobility in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front.

This 1/35 scale kit from Tamiya is a highly detailed replica of the M3A1 Scout Car, with a special focus on its service with the Red Army. The highlight of this boxing is the inclusion of five detailed figures of Soviet soldiers, dressed in authentic winter uniforms and depicted in realistic action poses. The vehicle itself features a fully detailed open-topped interior and suspension, with build options for open or closed armoured shutters. The kit includes marking options for two Red Army vehicles and one U.S. Army vehicle.
