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. ## 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 | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | American Light Armor M8 Greyhound | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 113 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 | | Item Dimensions | 5.62 x 2.84 x 2.54 inches | | Item Type Name | hobby model airplane building kits | | Item Weight | 0.28 kg | | Manufacturer | MMD Holdings, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 300035228 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Manufacturer recommended age | 15 years and up | | 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) ![Tamiya Models M8 Greyhound Armored Car - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BHPxAsnsL.jpg) ![Tamiya Models M8 Greyhound Armored Car - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OkqO67+gL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya Models M8 Greyhound Armored Car - TAMIYA Jeep Willys 1/4 Ton 4X4 Hobby Model Kit for ages 168 months to 1200 months - Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/8060196-tamiya-models-m8-greyhound-armored-car](https://www.desertcart.no/products/8060196-tamiya-models-m8-greyhound-armored-car) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
