WWII - VEHICLE LIST 1/56 scale Bolt Action

UK Staghound MkI + MkII + Tulip

The T17E1 armored car was an American armored car manufactured during the Second World War. It saw service with British and other Commonwealth forces during the war under the name Staghound, but was never used on the front line by US forces. A number of other countries used the Staghound after the war; some vehicles continued to serve until the 1980s.

The T17E1 was armed with a 37 mm M6 gun, a coaxial .30 cal M1919A4 Browning machine gun and a 2-inch smoke mortar in a rotating turret. In the hull was mounted a second .30 cal M1919A4 Browning. 

This variant had a crew of five: commander, loader, gunner, driver, and hull machine gunner.

It saw combat with the British, Free Polish, Canadian, New Zealand, Indian, and Belgian armies in Italy, Greece and Northwest Europe. After the war, it saw further action in Greece, Cuba, Nicaragua, Lebanon and Rhodesia.

This was a field conversion that had a 3 inch howitzer Mk 1 for close support mounted in place of the 37 mm gun in the turret. The bow machine gun was removed. It is not known how many were converted. These were issued to the Armoured Car HQ section.
