Its combination of speed, a 37mm cannon in an open-topped turret, and all-wheel drive made it an effective scout and screening vehicle, serving in every theatre from its introduction in 1943 to the end of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic 1\/35 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the famous Greyhound.
