The Tamiya U.S. M42 Duster Model Kit Is a Great 1/35 Scale Project, Featuring a Detailed Open Turret and Three Included Crew Figures.
Key Features
Overview
The M42 Duster was an American self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the chassis of the M41 light tank. Entering service in 1953, its twin 40mm cannons were intended to provide mobile air defence for armoured units. However, the Duster proved to be devastatingly effective against ground targets and saw extensive service during the Vietnam War, where it earned a formidable reputation providing heavy fire support for infantry units.
This 1/35 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the versatile M42 Duster. The model accurately captures the vehicle's form, and its open-topped turret showcases a wealth of detail, including the twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns, crew seats, and various accessories. The kit includes three realistic crew figures in action poses, easy-to-use paintable belt-type tracks, and marking options to depict vehicles from the U.S. Army, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and the former West German Army.
