The Italeri M8/M20 (part number HC-W25759) highlights the evolution of U.S. Army World War II armoured cars. Developed to move beyond early scout cars, the M8 Greyhound introduced heavier armament and improved protection, with a turret-mounted 37 mm cannon providing effective support for ground troops. First fielded in Italy from Monte Cassino to Anzio, it later took part in the D-Day operations and subsequent fighting in Normandy.

The M20 version derived from the M8 adapted the proven chassis for Military Police duties and command roles. Appreciated for speed, mobility and flexible deployment, both variants became valued assets across varied and demanding terrain.

Subject Highlights

  • Focus on the M8 Greyhound armoured car and the M20 command/MP variant
  • Enhanced protection and heavier armament compared with early scout cars
  • Turret-mounted 37 mm cannon on the M8 for troop support
  • Combat history spanning Monte Cassino, Anzio and the Normandy campaign
  • Recognised for speed, manoeuvrability and versatile battlefield roles
At the beginning of World War II, the U.S. Army had lightweight and lightly armed vehicles, called "scout cars," for advanced reconnaissance activities. Developed during the war, the M-8 Greyhound armoured car, characterized by increased protection and heavier armament, represented a turning point for the American army.

The vehicle provided greater operational flexibility and could be more effectively used to support ground troops thanks to the 37mm cannon installed in the turret. First used on the Italian front, from Monte Cassino to Anzio, it later participated in the D-Day operations in June 1944. Although the terrain in Normandy proved challenging and demanding during the initial phases of the operation, later on the M-8 was particularly appreciated for its speed of movement and versatility in deployment. The M-20 version was developed from the M8 version for Military Police duties and command vehicle roles.
