Voyager Model PEA336 is a high-quality upgrade set for 1/35 scale models, dedicated to the American armored cars M8 Greyhound and M20 Utility Car. This product is designed for kits from Tamiya (35228, 35234) and Italeri (6364), ensuring a perfect fit with the selected sets.

The wheel chains designed by Voyager Model are made from precisely photo-etched brass sheet, which provides not only outstanding detail but also durability and an authentic appearance once installed on the model.

Such an enhancement will certainly make your model stand out compared to standard out-of-the-box versions.

Brief Historical Description

The M8 Greyhound and its M20 variant were popular American armored cars used during World War II (years 1943–1945), widely employed by the US Army and Allied forces, especially for reconnaissance and escort duties on the Western Front and in Italy. Wheel chains were used on these vehicles in challenging terrain conditions where increased traction on snow, mud, or ice was necessary. Thanks to them, armored columns could continue driving even in the most demanding weather conditions.
