M8 Scott HMC
Based on the ubiquitous M5 Stuart light tank hull, the M8 75mm Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC) provided much needed mobile artillery support to US assault forces. The M8 replaced the M5 Stuart turret with a more spacious open-topped turret to house a short-barrelled M2 75mm howitzer, with a pintle-mounted .50 Cal heavy machine gun to provide additional defensive firepower. It saw extensive US Army and USMC service in the Pacific Theatre, the Italian campaign, and in North West Europe, where it was also used by Free French forces.
In games of Bolt Action the M8 Scott is a light tank armed with a light howitzer and a pintle-mounted heavy machine gun that can be used to defend against air strikes, and can be included in Armoured Platoons.
Contains 1 Plastic Vehicle, Assembly Guide, Decals, Stats Cards and Damage Markers
Note: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
