Italeri 1/35 M923 Hillbilly Gun Truck Model Kit

The M923 "Hillbilly" gun truck was a Vietnam and later Iraq-era improvised fighting vehicle — a 5-ton cargo truck fitted with armor plating, sandbags, and ring-mounted machine guns for convoy escort duty. Named after the practice of "hillbillying up" standard trucks with field-expedient armor, these gun trucks provided crucial firepower protection for supply convoys on ambush-prone routes. This 1/35 Italeri kit features the armored cab, gun turrets, and field-modified combat configuration.
