- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The M42 Duster is a twin 40mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun used by the United States Army during the Vietnam War. The M42 Duster was designed to provide mobile anti-aircraft protection for ground troops - and it was equipped with twin 40mm Bofors guns mounted on a modified M41 Walker Bulldog tank chassis. The 'Iron Coffin' is the nickname given to the M42 Duster by the soldiers who operated it.
- The M42 Duster was first deployed to Vietnam in 1965 - and it was used extensively throughout the conflict. The Duster's twin 40mm guns were highly effective against low-flying aircraft and helicopters - and it was also used in a ground support role against enemy fortifications and troops. The Duster's mobility and firepower made it an essential part of the US Army's anti-aircraft defenses during the war.
- The M42 Duster was also used in the Korean War - the Dominican Republic and other conflicts. It was retired from service in the late 1970s - but it remains a popular subject among military vehicle enthusiasts and collectors.
- This 1:72 scale replica of the M42 Duster is highly detailed - with features such as rotating twin 40mm guns - realistic panel lines - and historically accurate markings. The replica also features the nickname 'Iron Coffin' and the Vietnam War era markings. This diecast metal and plastic replica is sure to be a great addition to any collection of military vehicles.
