US Armoured Car Squadron (3 M8/M20 Greyhound Scout Cars)The M8 Greyhound was originally designed to replace the US military's portee gun in an anti tank role, but was quickly repurposed once it was realised that its performance against German armour was lacking. It found use as a popular and successful armoured car that served American and British armies well throughout the war.

The M8 Greyhound was originally designed to replace the US military's portee gun in an anti-tank role, but was quickly repurposed once it was realised that its performance against German armour was lacking. It found use as a popular and successful armoured car that served American and British armies well throughout the war. Its crew of four served a 37mm gun, a co-axial .30 cal, the more aggressive crews adding a .50 cal on the roof for anti aircraft and local defence. It was very fast - hence its British name of Greyhound - capable of 55mph on good roads, but was known to bog down in mud. Its armour was enough to shrug off small arms fire, and these vehicles were best used in pairs to scout out enemy lines, supporting each other in a leap-frog fashion on the advance or covering a retreat. Replacing the armoured turret for a fixed, open fighting compartment, the M20 scout car was used primarily as a command vehicle, Sacrificing the turrets main gun in favour of extra radio capability, it also carried a portable Bazooka for extra anti-armour firepower. In contrast to many other nations the US developed just the one type of chassis for the role of reconnaissance, destined originally for the tank destroyer units it was eventually issue primarily to the cavalry squadrons. In conjunction with the M8 the M20 utility car was also developed becoming a command variant in many cases. Appearing in late 1943 in Italy to a baptism by fire on the roads to Rome, the cavalry squadrons gave the tactical commanders a unique unit offering a mix of speed and firepower. This led to the squadrons becoming the core of small, task specific, forces consisting typically of engineers, tank destroyers or self-propelled artillery depending on the mission. This kit will allow you to build both the M8 with its familiar turret and 37mm gun as well as the M20 utility.

Warning!!! Contaminated!!!!
This is the second time I've ordered this lip balm. The first time, the lip balm was great, unscented and worked well, so well that i ordered another to keep in the car. I ordered the same one, just 3 ingredients - tallow, beeswax, and honey. Except this one is contaminated with some kind of chemicals! It leaves an awful taste that permeates my whole mouth. It's like chemicals or strong perfume and kind of stings! Not only am i disappointed but I'm furious because my child used it first! We still have the awful taste in our mouths and I'm concerned what kind of chemicals we might have just been exposed to.

Must have for chapped/dry lips
Unfortunately for me, my lips dry easily. Wearing myotape (mouth tape) at night reduces how often my lips get chapped and peel. However, my lips still need regular care. I have been using chapstick that doesn't contain standard endocrine disruptors, petrochemicals, and artificial dyes for years. Since there's concern about the high omega 6 content (and possible inflammatory repurcussions) of using chapsticks that contain sunflower seed oil, etc. In them, I decided to try beef tallow. Most beef tallows come in tins and must be applied by hand, and then the hands must be washed. This product gives you the ability to apply beef tallow to your lips without having to directly apply your fingers to your lips. This is a must have!

Great product!
This is great lip balm, coming from someone who can't be without something on my lips. My only wish is that they would make it in smaller tubes because this one doesn't fit into pant pockets as easily because it is larger in size.

Worth it
These chap sticks are absolutely massive, it’s so soothing to chapped lips and I’m sure they will last a while. The texture is creamy and light on the skin. I’ll definitely be ordering more down the road
