Tamiya US Army A.A. Gun M42 Duster 1/35 Model Tank Kit

The Tamiya US Army A.A. Gun M42 Duster 1/35 Model Tank Kit replicates the M42 Duster – an anti-aircraft vehicle used in conjunction with tank units. The Duster was equipped with a pair of 40mm cannons on an open-top turret, and powered by a 500hp engine that let it achieve speeds of up to 70km/h. It was accepted into service with the U.S. Army in 1953 and proved an effective anti-aircraft weapons system.

• 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit
• Gun detail, loader’s seat, rifles and more in the interior
• Three marking options included, offering a choice of U.S., Japan Ground Self Defense Force and former West German Army M42s

• RE-ISSUE updates: Three figures were originally included in the motorized version of this kit (Item 30027, from 1970). They depict crew in the turret, in the act of locating a target. Updated package and 4-language instruction manual.
