Product: 1/35 M792 Gama Goat Ambulance Truck
This is a Gama Goat model, which depicts the ambulance version of that
unique 6-wheel drive U.S. military vehicle. The Gama Goat was originally
commissioned in 1966 as an off-road, amphibious vehicle, a 6-wheel drive
truck consisting of a 4-wheel tractor and a 2-wheel carrier module. It
employed an articulation joint between the two modules that allowed them
to move independently of one another, allowing goat-like nimble
traversing of rough terrain. The M792 ambulance truck variant featured
additional seats that could be folded out to make a bed for the wounded,
a heater to warm up the rear carrier module, and a canvas roof to
protect its passengers from the elements. The M792 was deployed in the Invasion of Grenada which took place in 1983.
