Back in Stock: Tamiya 35161 U.S. M42 Duster 1/35 Scale Plastic Model Kit
We’re pleased to announce that the Tamiya 35161 U.S. M42 Duster 1/35 Scale Plastic Model Kit is back in stock at Historia Emporium - The History Store. This highly detailed kit is a favorite among military modelers and history enthusiasts, faithfully recreating one of the U.S. Army’s most distinctive Cold War-era self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles.
The M42 Duster was developed in the early 1950s as an evolution of World War II-era anti-aircraft designs, featuring twin 40mm Bofors cannons mounted on a modified M41 Walker Bulldog chassis. Though originally intended to counter aircraft threats, the Duster saw extensive ground-combat use during the Vietnam War, where its powerful guns proved highly effective against infantry and soft targets. Its open-topped turret and robust, reliable design made it a memorable vehicle in the history of U.S. armored forces.
This Tamiya kit is renowned for its accuracy and quality engineering. It features realistic surface detailing, easy-to-assemble parts, and includes crew figures for added diorama possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned modeler or just getting started, it's a rewarding project that brings an important piece of military history to your collection.
