About product

M706 Commando in the improved form, 1:72 scale

A kit of the four-wheeled armored car that served in the US Army under the designation M706. Trumpeter has this type in 1:72 in several boxings, and this one corresponds to the improved version known as Product Improved. The smaller scale lets you build a whole convoy in the space where a single vehicle in 1:35 would fit into the display case.

The real subject

The Commando was a light armored car with all-wheel drive, designed for patrol and escort duty. It proved itself protecting convoys and guarding airfields, because it moved quickly on the road and protected the crew against small-arms fire and splinters. The hull shaped into a wedge shed water and blast alike, and the vehicle could handle shallow fords as well. Besides the US Army the type was also used by police and security forces in a number of other countries.

Building and painting tips

The wheels and the suspension will take the most work. Paint the tires separately from the rims and dust them lightly, because they are what tells you on a finished vehicle whether the machine has been anywhere. Lighten the base olive shade on the horizontal surfaces where the sun would have dried it out, and pick out the engraved hatches with a thin line. Leave the vision ports and headlights until last and protect them with masking fluid.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of American Cold War equipment
  • builders of convoys and military scenes in 1:72
  • modelers who want to build several versions of the same vehicle

The vehicle is supplied as parts to be glued together, not as a finished model.

FAQ

It is the improved form of the vehicle, which came about after experience with the basic version in service. The differences lie above all in the details of the superstructure and the equipment.

Yes. The real vehicle was used in the convoy escort role, and in 1:72 scale it matches the size of ordinary cargo trucks in the same scale.

The package contents are not stated here. Kits of this kind usually include a sheet of markings for several finishes.
